Pros

Overall, I had a great experience at Docusign. The product is well-built, and customers tend to be very happy with it. The people are the best part of Docusign!

Cons

There have been significant changes since I first started. The company no longer invests in sellers' success the way it used to. Success now heavily depends on the quality of your territory—if you’re fortunate to have a great one, opportunities can come your way. However, if your territory isn’t strong, it can be an uphill battle. Some of the top-performing AEs benefit from deals that fall into their laps through consumption or customer requests. Without those, it’s challenging to consistently hit targets. The IAM (Identity and Access Management) offering is also struggling. There’s limited interest from customers, and while a handful of them do adopt it successfully, the demand is not widespread. I have concerns about DocuSign's long-term ability to maintain its competitive edge and overall success in the market. My advice: proceed with caution and carefully evaluate your opportunities here.

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
