Toxic Culture, Zero Trust, Bad Leaders

Pros

Stock price if you joined pre-IPO. Some people are nice. The culture used to be good.

Cons

DocuSign has a disastrous culture. Peaople are leaving like crazy. In fighting and politics are everywhere . This is one of the worst, not best places to work. You cannot trust anyone in Trust. The CISO is weak and uninformed. The leadership team know nothing. Back channeling and nepotism rule. I heard that you can delete bad reviews on Glassdoor, which is what must be happening, or people are too afraid to give truthful feedback or the fact that execs don’t act on it. HR know there is a problem but work against the company’s and employees’ interests. It is a shame because the product is great but it is not possible to work here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. This was a more difficult review to read, and we have shared it with our Chief Trust and Security Officer so she is aware of the review. On point, we’d like to address: It is not possible for us (DocuSign) to delete bad reviews on Glassdoor. Glassdoor has technology (we are told) to identify and delete fraudster reviews – so for instance, we cannot hire people to write fake reviews or people can’t post reviews from different devices – but we as DocuSign can’t request that a review be deleted nor do we have an admin tool to delete reviews.

Pros

Let's see, it's been a bit over two years for me. A lot has changed in that time, and I'd easily say most of it for the better. The company continues to grow, but the neck-breaking pace of my first 1-2 years has slowed. It feels more sustainable (we're definitely still growing) and that the focus is on maturity. We have a new CEO that seems to know what he's doing, or at least what he wants to do. He's been very consistent, very open, and prioritizes communication and answers the hard questions. The goals for the company are well outlined and the future is in sight. There are still more changes to be made for all the orgs within the company to align, but those changes are well on their way and so far they seem well thought out and appropriate. There continues to be an abundance of opportunity to serve in our local communities through IMPACT events. And while the internal socializing (happy hour) has been cut back, when we do have them, they seem to be higher quality and worth while. Personally, I've been given a lot of opportunity to grow and succeed here. I am proud of what we do as a company, and blessed to be apart of it with. I look forward to many more years of learning, being challenged, and ultimately, growing.

Cons

With our IPO around the corner, you feel the belt tightening. More scrutiny for travel and money expenditure in general, but I'd say it's both a good thing and to be expected. Our benefits are slowly, but surely, expanding with the most recent being 6 months of leave for a new child, which is incredible. But, this is the con section, so I'll say that I hope our benefits in the area of 401k matching materialize after our IPO. There's still some inter-org struggles in terms of communication and usage of resources, but the silver lining is that our leadership is aware and directly working on it now. I feel it will be addressed by the end of this year and we'll be able to move forward better united.

Pros

Spent a few years at DocuSign and it is a great technology. There are some great people in the organization who are very talented. The technical team is very strong.

Cons

Way too top heavy and turn over is very high for a company with this much promise. They haven't been able to crack the enterprise sales model which has resulted in a revolving door of enterprise sales leadership and go to market approaches. Only a few reps make their number and everyone else is sucking wind. Product, while really good, has not evolved too much. A lot of the best people have left already.

Thank you for your thoughts. Two years ago, we began re-engineering our approach to our Enterprise Business (including the sales component of that). We listened to our large existing and new enterprise customers, and it became clear that they need us to provide global solutions. In the past year, we believe this new approach has been validated as we have added several key strategic accounts and continue to build significant additional business within current customers. While that does not mean every person in Enterprise Sales has seen that same individual success, as an organization, we believe, we are headed in the right direction. — Chris McClain, SVP, DocuSign Enterprise Sales
