Pros

The product is really good, customers love it. The roadmap is strong and the company is heading in a great direction. Colleagues are great, DocuSign hires highly intelligent people and there is a strong sense of teamwork across the different teams and departments. Offices are well equiped. WFH policy is flexible and fair. DocuSign has a lot going for it

Cons

For some reason, DocuSign struggles with paying, deciding how to pay and when to pay their employees. We have had multiple delays on salary payment. Compensation plans seem to be a struggle. One team has reached the halfway point of the year (consecutive years) without compensation plans which has had an effect on the surrounding teams. We have had issues with tax on more than one occasion. If it wasn't for these issues it would be a 4/5 but DocuSign can't seem to get the basics right. There are some other issues, internal communication isn't great, product and otherwise. We regularly find out people leave in EMEA when we try to email them, this applies at all levels. No clear structures for career path as far as I can tell in most roles.

Thank you for sharing your experience even though some of your comments were discouraging to read. It’s your experience and we want to hear it. It’s reassuring to hear you enjoy the colleagues and customers you work with and some of our benefits. My team has managed the relationship with Glassdoor for 5+ years, and I can promise you that Glassdoor does not share anymore information about who is writing a review than you yourself can see online. And, personally, I would not sign up to solicit reviews from my colleagues if that were the case. We ask new hires to wait a few months before they write a review on Glassdoor until they have more details to share. Having said that, enthusiastic new hires do write reviews, though that is not something we can control. However, I will make sure we strengthen that point with new hires in our messaging going forward. Regarding feedback, as Dan our CEO promised after the last employee survey, we are building more feedback touchpoints into our processes in addition to conducting semi-annual, confidential employee pulse surveys. You will learn more about these in the coming weeks so sit tight. Employee feedback is a critical factor in helping us uncover the opportunities to improve. Finally, regarding targets and compensation, I will share your review with our Chief People Officer, our VP of Total Rewards, and our VP of Recruiting, so they are aware of your experience. Thanks again.

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.
