Pros

Docusign has the benefits of top tech companies as well as the benefits of a smaller companies. There is the challenging and stimulating nature of the work that comes with a strong technical company. There is also very good compensation, with high base salary, all medical/dental/vision premiums paid, 4 weeks vacation, RSUs, free stocked kitchens, and more. But why work for Docusign over one of the larger tech giants like Google or Facebook? The answer is that Docusign is still a young company. There's room for much more impact on the growth of the company. There's more freedom, and quite simply a fantastic work-life balance that seems to have escaped tech giants.

Cons

Docusigns future is not necessarily as stable, considering how there is currently no CEO, and there is a desire to go public. The company could be bought out and changed, which can be scary to some. However, since most of the current investors seem to be quite reputable companies like Google and Apple, I would argue that Docusign is still quite a safe bet.

Pros

DocuSign provides very innovative products that improve business and personal transactions substantially by enabling electronic signatures and providing a vast assortment of associated electronic document management options. The growth of the company provides a delightful array of technical challenges and opportunities, allowing engineers to grow in many directions and remain versatile and leverage multiple stacks (.NET, Node.js, etc.) in interesting combinations. The company is poised for a great deal of continued growth and employs a number of very intelligent engineers, making it a delight to work here as a software engineer. The benefits offered to employees are also quite substantial.

Cons

While DocuSign is growing quickly, it is also working through normal growing pains, including how to organize and manage teams and priorities. There is also a tendency within the Engineering organization to form cliques amongst employees that worked together in other large companies; while not an outright problem, it does complicate making clear evaluations of software / technology as they apply to DocuSign, rather than the company at which that clique previously worked (e.g. "we tried this at X and it didn't work out so well, so we will avoid that here."). There are also limited opportunities for advancement as the company is still growing and has not yet established a clear track for career growth. Additionally, compensation - while the overall package is quite substantial - is lower in terms of raw salary than others. These issues are not uncommon for a growing company, but are still present.

Thanks for your thoughts. I hope you are speaking to Robin Ducot, Ron Hirson and Grant Petersen. Seems like the issues you raise are surmountable. If you don't see improvement, chat please with Michael Erisman.

Pros

DocuSign has the industry leading product and treats it employees very well in all facets. Good compensation and good benefits (4 weeks of vacation right from the beginning). DocuSign also has a good work life balance environment.

Cons

No significant cons, except wish the 401k has company matching, but no big deal.
