Pros
DocuSign presents a good opportunity for fresh college graduates to get their feet wet and build a thick skin for their career in sales. If you work up the sales ladder, it does develop a lot of transferable skills - cold calling, CRM experience, industry specific knowledge and experience.
Cons
Low pay - DocuSign doesn’t pay their employees nearly enough for the numbers they produce. Commission is a set number rather than based off your production and the value of the deals you set up. Rather than raising our pay and incentivizing us to continue to work harder, DocuSign offered a higher referral bonus. Growing Pains - It’s more obvious now than ever that DocuSign is trying to scale at the pace they were during COVID. Management feels the heat with large scale team changes and constant shifts in rules and teams. Linear Sales Path - Promotion is based off of time in seat and attainment. It doesn’t necessarily promote people who are great at their jobs and often times it can seem like there’s no progression in role past the first 5-6 months. Burnout is inevitable. It really depends on how you overcome it.
