Pros

The product is changing the way business is done. The company is growing, which presents career opportunities for development and advancement. Great opportunities to give back through your work with a volunteer time-off benefit, a matching gifts benefit, and the ability to donate DocuSign to small charities. Nice offices to work in, good snacks, good views, close to transportation in downtown SF.

Cons

Can be very silo-ed, especially in the go-to-market area, with marketing, sales and product/engineering not always in lock step.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope after today's All Hands you will have more confidence in our GTM alignment after listening to Scott-Ron-Tom's presentation. (I do.) Also, I'd encourage you to spend some time with Kathy Gowell who will walk you through the T1/T2 planning approach that her team is rolling out. Between those two initiatives, you should see many of the issues you raise above addressed.

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
