Pros

very fun culture. work environment is lay back. work-life balance is good. compensation is alright, i'd expect either a little more considering this space is very competitive right now.

Cons

compensation can be improved to stay competitive or the company will lose the competitiveness on hiring talent people and lose existing talent engineers. perks can be improved too, free lunch would be nice.

Thanks for your review. I'll copy and paste the response I just wrote for another review: Since you wrote your review, we have hired directly or through acquisition another 1000 employees. While some people did say we hired a lot of VPs and brought in new leadership at different levels, at these growth rates, it seems that it was the right call. We have tried to bring people in with a fresh perspective and who know how to scale and manage large, global teams. It's like we buy pants that are two sizes too big and then find them just the right size one year later. Regarding compensation and recognition for engineers, please speak with Michael Erisman. he joined about 6 months ago and is focusing on this among other initiatives. He is quite supportive of focusing on engineers. I think you will find him open to your suggestions.

Pros

Some of the people are very nice, but constantly over-worked. The same small pool of people seem to do all the work.

Cons

Lack of respect for employees, too many undeserving VPs, no diversity, low pay, inappropriate derogatory & personal comments made to employees by management.

I am very sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience here. Since you have joined, we have brought in more seasoned executives including on our HR team. Inappropriate derogatory comments are absolutely unacceptable. Should anybody reading this at DocuSign experience comments like that , please contact either Reggie Davis or Michael Erisman so that we can put an end to that behavior immediately.

Too many chiefs (VPs/C-level hires outnumber the doers), Good 'ol boy network

Pros

Work environment - perks similar to other startups - great office space, good benefits, decent salary if you negotiate, some very smart people, product has potential

Cons

Old school hierarchy rules - highly paid VPs abound, management skills lacking across the senior management team, typical tech sales driven culture. The company lacks diversity on every single level but most predominately at the top.

Thank you for your comments. We wish you well in your new endeavors. We have brought in a bunch of seasoned leaders since you wrote this review. We think it's paid off as we hired about 1000 employees since that time. We have also introducing a Manager Toolkit and Manager Orientation during Discovering DcouSign (our two day all global new hire orientation in Seattle) and we are working on creating a more diverse workforce at every level -- a challenge for most enterprise software companies. I've referred a couple of "diverse" employees, some of who have been hired. I make it a point to review our job listings and try to contribute to building a diverse candidate slate through my own network. It's going to be a team effort. But we are getting there.
