Pros

At first, it looks like a "employee first" company. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Once you sign the papers, you realize the recruiters low balled you big time (salary wise). Everything they say about "This is the best we can do" is a lie after you join and you hear how much other engineers in your band are making. Then you realize your manager is happy to ignore all the promises she made during the interview process. If you interview here, get the hiring manager to put everything in writing before you sign the offer. They're happy to "forget" about those promises made later.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is disappointing to read that you feel misled. We have shared your review with the VP of Recruiting and head of HR so they are aware of this feedback. Nic Jagoe (VP of Recruiting) would like you to reach out to her. It is not our style to lowball so she wants to know more. Please ping her. She truly is committed to the candidate experience and building a great team that wants to stay and build their careers with us.

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.
