Pros

There are honestly some good people who work here and they make it worth it.

Cons

Read the early reviews, they are true. I feel like the most recent and current reviews are written by the HR department. This company only cares about themselves and not the employees that work for it. The people who care will be jaded fast. Every two days you will see a new VP email of the usual demographic and never of any diversity or a woman. It is a 650+ company that is ran like a 10 person start up. No room for growth, hard to move around within the company...all about politics.

I can promise you (cross my heart, hope to die ...) that nobody in HR writes false reviews. That is not the way we roll. We genuinely care about the team. As our CEO says, the team is our most important asset. It is our "strategy offensive weapon". Since you wrote this review, we have added about 1000 employees both organically and through acquisition (Brazil, Israel, France, small SF based acquit-hire). Upon reflection, it seems like a wise call that we brought in seasoned leaders who know how to scale. We have brought in a couple great women recently including Catherine Courage. But like most tech companies -- especially in enterprise -- we could benefit from more diversity across gender, race, age, sexual orientation. Everything because our product serves everybody. It is in our financial interest to build a more diverse workforce. I myself have recommended a couple of hires (got a nice cash reward for one "diverse" hire). So I would encourage you to scan the list of open reqs and refer diverse candidates. Employee referrals are often the best hires as they get in groove faster and stay longer with the company.

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.
