Pros

Great product, awesome selling it. As a sales person you are definitely set up for success and have the potential to smash your targets. It feels great being part of a company that is already solid but still has a ton of market to go after. The stock is great though, and ESPP worth setting up. Great benefits. SUPER switched on company culture when it comes to social issues. The CEO puts his money where his mouth is as well. Great speaker series on inclusivity and diversity, great to also see more women being promoted to key leadership positions.

Cons

The comp isn't as good as most other tech companies I've worked for, although the goals are more achievable. When on ramp, you don't get paid your OTE during training. I started in mid-July and won't see my first commission check until the end of September, and they don't pay equivalent OTE for the interim - that was a bit of a shock and disappointing, especially as the comp package is lower than the industry average in my experience. Also - decelerators after hitting quota on ramp makes it less motivating to push to overachieve.

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.
