Pros

This is a good place to work relative to other similar tech companies. In my experience the emphasis is on good not great. Yes, the work life balance is great. The physical location was great for me.

Cons

The pay is below market median by 10-15% in engineering, no 401k match, and no bonus. Basically you pay for that work life balance. That stock better do amazingly well one day. As a result there are lots of early career engineers and some of the more experienced folks have left.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for working at DocuSign. We wish you the best of luck in your next position. To address some of the issues you raise: our compensation team runs extensive analytics and ensures me that DocuSign typically pays around the median. We are not aware of any group in the company that is paid 10-15% below the median for the industry. As for bonuses, all employees are eligible for our EBITDA bonus and Directors and above are on an Employee Incentive Plan (aka bonus plan). True: there is no current 401K match. This is typical for a pre-IPO company and our CEO has said that a matching 401K program is a priority post-IPO. (By the way ... we don't curate reviews. Promise.)

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.
