Pros

After having spent years at a gigantic software company, I greatly cherish the influence and scope of work that I have now at DocuSign. It's about "just right" size where you have support and a full set of corporate services like IT, HR, facilities, etc but small enough that when you see a problem that needs addressed, you can very often become a champion to solve that issue without having to check with 20 people first. You end up solving the problem at many or every level in which it needs to be addressed, which is incredibly rewarding. DocuSign is also a fairly flexible work environment for engineers, coming up with creative schedules, processes and locations for you to achieve your goals. Finally, DocuSign is very exciting right now because our new CEO has been on board for just long enough to really have a grasp of everything and is starting to make the big moves we hoped the company would make for it's future. Will we IPO soon? Don't ask me, but it sure seems like we've been closer than ever in the 3+ years I have worked here. Finally, it is a company that cares about it's employees and the communities in which we live. They have a matching gifts IMPACT program for non profits, plus continually add better and better benefits to support all sorts of workers with different abilities and life constraints. Recent changes to family leave, for example , were very generous. Diversity and gender equity are more than just checkboxes on a list here. They really seem to mean it.

Cons

Split between Seattle and San Francisco headquarters still has some division in ways teams work, style, process and leadership. I think with new leaders these things are starting to be ironed out, but it has caused a slow in delivery of some key things, IMHO.

Always good to hear from the engineering side of the house. Many thanks for your detailed review. Please bubble up any areas that you think have been slowed down which are critical to our business. My bet is Tom Casey would be all ears. As for equity, some of that has been addressed with RSUs but perhaps not all. Please raise that question during the All Hands by submitting it in advance via our survey.

Pros

Seriously, it's all about luck with your manager and territory. If you land a good one, the money can really flow. Honestly, you don't even need to deep dive into the details. Just hope for the best and you might strike gold. It's a real gamble sometimes, but that's how it goes.

Cons

Seriously, these sales quotas feel designed for us to fall flat on our faces. It's wild how management sometimes pushes us towards tactics that feel a little sketch. And don't even get me started on selling IAM; it's a real uphill battle. Honestly, the leadership here just isn't cutting it. It's frustrating to feel like you're set up for failure and not getting the support you need.
