Pros

Company culture was great. Customers love the product. Product development has made a lot of progress over recent years

Cons

Ever since Allan and Steve Shute took over, the culture has taken a turn for the worst. They don't seem genuine and the company culture has become very sanitized. They're very robotic in their approach, and a lot of what they say just comes off as corporate speak. There is no sense of culture with them, and Steve Shute is not the kind of guy who will shake your hand or have a conversation with you like an equal.

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.
