Pros

The product is strong, the benefits are excellent.

Cons

Lack of vision. Lack of inspiration. Lack of cohesiveness/communication between departments, (despite a change in C suite leadership to address - it has gotten worse with duplicative or often counterintuitive work), consistent talk of focusing on vital initiatives (with no direction as to what those are), lack of career opportunities for new sales professionals, exacerbated by the drastic reduction of SMB AE roles, MDR roles, SDR roles, PDR roles, and the focus on “self serve by customers”. It takes a highly unorganized organization to increase salaries of hundreds, including some via promotion, only to layoff that group a mere 2 weeks later. Many excellent people were let go and for all the talk of “exploring all options to avoid further layoffs” more C suite leadership was added, no discussion of salary reductions or role changes were had. This company is in a free fall of cost cutting to preserve itself but has come at the cost countless talent, culture, and opportunity that made it the destination that it was from 2015-2021. If you are interested in developing your career - avoid DocuSign for now.

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.
