Pros
Leading edge products leading the way in global digital transformation. Strong leadership, awesome CEO, fun and collaborative start-up culture, Exciting growth track primed for IPO. It's a perfect moment to look at DocuSign!
Cons
You have to embrace change, it's embedded in our culture. We move fast and you have to wear many hats. While exciting, it can prove challenging at times.

Thank you for writing a review and sharing your thoughts. Yes change is exciting. Yes change is challenging. Most days I'm good at it. Today, I'd say I was about a 6. (Note to self: eat lunch. You do better in the afternoon when you do.) Man, I really want to unpack your last comment about communicating often with employees around changes and shifts in the strategy. If you feel comfortable, please ping me. Ann Poletti

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.
