Pros

DocuSign as a company has a great culture and benefits. Also, the CEO is down to earth and would like to know and improve employees and their wellness better.

Cons

Company-wide: Executive-level politics and finger-pointing each other, rather than trying to do the right work, is somewhat pathetic. It's been >1 year since the company went on IPO and everyone still acts like a startup. Accounting-Specific: The great culture at DocuSign doesn't apply to the Accounting department. Accounting is still under the old-school ship who does not trust your professionalism. If you like 90s management style, like micromanagement, no trust from your chief, and having your butt in the chair 9 am to 4 pm every day, this is the place.

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.
