Pros

Overall, it's a good place to be in terms of company recognition, total comp, and work life balance. Benefits include quarterly tech budgets, gym, parental spending, etc. As an IC, there are proper boundaries for respecting off work hours and people in general, regardless of team. As a manager, the boundaries are less respected and one's happiness depends heavily on which leadership one reports to.

Cons

The leadership changes can be chaotic -- almost the entire chain of command was replaced in engineering. This results in constantly shifting priorities, team reorgs, etc. Some of the key initiatives were unpopular but they were never properly addressed in company town halls.

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.
