Pros

The energy of the company is tremendous and very impressive. There are a lot of very passionate people that work here. The direction of the company is just as good. Being the market leader is an awesome place to be. The team I get to work on is a very fun bunch that loves their jobs and loves to create qualify software solutions. There are a ton of enticing projects to work on. And, the view from the current Seattle office is likely unmatched!

Cons

Like any company with a (relatively) small technology staff, there is lots to do. Like any company, miskes are made. The measure of that company is how you deal with the mistake and if you repeat the mistake down the road.

Thank you. Agree with all your pros. Regarding the point about mistakes, our Founder Tom Gonser says that mistakes and learning certain things don't work are as valuable as getting things right because mistakes help us narrow the field and get us closer to the winning answer. Hopefully you have seen us perfect this approach of Fail Fast and iteration. We have also improved some of our benefits.

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.
