Pros

always feel very looked after by the company. contact is great. people are great to work with. stock options are very good.

Cons

company is in rapid growth, because of this personal development and growth of staff becomes lessens. promotional opportunities within sales is difficult as the targets are very high with only certain markets performing consistently well.

Pros

DocuSign presents a good opportunity for fresh college graduates to get their feet wet and build a thick skin for their career in sales. If you work up the sales ladder, it does develop a lot of transferable skills - cold calling, CRM experience, industry specific knowledge and experience.

Cons

Low pay - DocuSign doesn’t pay their employees nearly enough for the numbers they produce. Commission is a set number rather than based off your production and the value of the deals you set up. Rather than raising our pay and incentivizing us to continue to work harder, DocuSign offered a higher referral bonus. Growing Pains - It’s more obvious now than ever that DocuSign is trying to scale at the pace they were during COVID. Management feels the heat with large scale team changes and constant shifts in rules and teams. Linear Sales Path - Promotion is based off of time in seat and attainment. It doesn’t necessarily promote people who are great at their jobs and often times it can seem like there’s no progression in role past the first 5-6 months. Burnout is inevitable. It really depends on how you overcome it.

Pros

1. Managerial style - My manager has always been a coach to me, helping me where I'm struggling while patting me on the back where I'm seeing success. 2. Flexibility - I don't feel micro managed when I'm doing well and hitting quota. 3. Great company culture - In the 8 months that I've been at DocuSign, I've made some lifelong friends and mentors (including my Managers). 4. Ability to hit quota regularly as long as you put in the work (we have a great product, and customers are generally happy with our company's ability to improve their workflows).

Cons

Base Pay - If you are doing well, commissions help to make up for the slightly low base pay, but I'll be taking parental leave sometime next year, and will likely receive insufficient pay for however long I decide to stay home with the family. Seattle is an expensive place to live, and I'm not sure the base pay recognizes this harsh reality. Bottle Necks in getting promoted - It feels like there are so many XDRs being added to every team, I am a bit worried about promotion possibilities in the upcoming years. Other than that, this company is a pleasure to work for.
