Pros

Accommodating work environment especially during Covid Management / teams work well together and feel you are part of a team (when doing your actual work) Benefits

Cons

DocuSign says it is a people first company - it is not one unless you are part of the right narrative Been in meetings at all levels hearing conservative views shut down/bashed Very left - and politics are brought up almost daily in meetings Conservatives have a fear of backlash for their views and are scared to speak up

Thanks for sharing that you believe the company has been accommodating during COVID and that teams work well together. The benefits have also gotten so much better, I agree. Our employee first approach means employees have more input into how we are designing the future of how we will work. As a result of listening to employees, as we reopen our offices, more than 90% of team members will be able to work remotely. We have also expanded the benefits based on feedback from our employees. As for conservative values not being listened to, I agree that country and world politics has less of a place in day to day worklife at DocuSign. I do know that on our leadership team we do have a wide range of views -- not all liberal. Is there a way that you can flag the bias in the flow of a discussion that could curb the political discussions -- perhaps something like "I might have a different view on this but prefer not to speak politics with colleagues at work. Can we shift gears here?" or "I have been finding the political debates in general a bit draining. Can we shift gears here and get back to the project?" I have found people very receptive at DocuSign when they are made aware of their bias in a respectful way. Tone and words matter. Give it a try. You might find it works and also helps your colleagues' professional development.

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.
