Pros

Benefits were good. The product is also the leader in the industry

Cons

I had really high expectations going into DocuSign and have left thinking that I made a huge mistake working there for a year. It all starts with the senior leadership, specifically Dan and Joan. The amount of politics and lies they brought to the company was disgusting. They worked on forcing their liberal agenda into the company. I should have assumed this may be the case going to work for a San Francisco based company, so some of that fault should be placed on me for not realizing I would be working for two leaders whose role model is Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. There is a reason the company is struggling so much right now and those two are the ring leaders of it. Sales is extremely tough. Everyone is jumping ship. Quotas are unattainable. Customers understand the DocuSign has a great product, but they are going to competitors because our pricing is very high. Leadership told the sales team about increasing their pay this year, but told us a few months later they were going to do that anymore and if you dont like that then you can leave.

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.
