Pros

I enjoy the ability to work with a team of highly talented individuals who take the success of the company in changing the world personally. It's every person's mission to create automation and efficiency for our customers, with a clear definition of our success based on how much value our customers get from our products.

Cons

Investor backed companies often times result in the company being very focused on growth and leadership who can take it there. As a result, the finer details of personnel management isn't always of highest priority. Once the investors exit, often times companies begin to mature into a cadence that focuses on making each team member successful, with more investments on personnel. So long as folks accept we are in the early stages of such a cycle, they will enjoy working at DocuSign.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are working on development in general this year. It's a priority for the HR Business Partners team. Hopefully you will see a difference -- pre-IPO or not.

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.
