Pros

The engineering culture is among the best I've ever worked in. The people are smart, fun to work with and passionate about doing the right thing. There are many technical spaces to work in with lots of interesting challenges. Leadership is good at aligning peoples interests and kills with problems and then letting them run with the solution and implementation. The product management folks I work with are great at what they do. They know the product, what we need to do next and how to help engineering get there. Flex schedules are a real thing. People work from home and/or work schedules that fit their life so long as they are available in the office or online during core hours for collaboration. Pay isn't as competitive as some other large tech companies, but the trade off is that you work with an engineering team where you know everyone. There's a lot to be said for that, especially when it comes time to get things done quickly Aside from being good at the core things that I value at an employer, there are are nice perks you would find at a startup. Free food and beverages, donuts and bagels on Friday, beer on tap, very nice facilities with great collaboration spaces, scooters, team outings, etc.

Cons

Very high work tempo from time-to-time can get you a little burned out, but that's true for any companies doing great things. 401K match would be nice IPO has been on the horizon for years Some places in engineering, PMO is imposed and it doesn't always work.

It is great to hear that a engineering veteran like yourself (5 years -- way to go!). Hear you about 401K matching and IPO but I think we are in a very different spot than we were 3 years ago and with Dan at the helm. Hoping that you will find the right forum to suggest how to improve PMO. We need to nail that.

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.
