DocuSign doesn't care about you
Pros
- Healthcare benefits fully paid - 401k matching - Employee stock plan - Recognizable name on resume - Easy to get hired as an SDR, even if you don't have prior sales experience
Cons
- It's extremely hard to move up outside of the sales org, despite them making it seem easy to make lateral moves during interviews; feels like a bait-and-switch - Unlivable base pay in pre-sales and closing roles, especially to be based in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, and Toronto - Unattainable quotas that management refuses to reevaluate, even though they are clearly based on inflated COVID numbers - Management is not realistic about quota, they tell you to keep dialing but fail to understand that we will never hit peak COVID numbers again - DocuSign claims to put "employee's first," but refuses to listen to employees when we voice valid concerns about not being able to hit inflated quotas - Performative activism throughout the entire organization - carefully crafted email messages that go out detailing the amounts of money invested in organizations, yet DocuSign refuses to actually take a stance against injustice. Sometimes it's more harmful to try and stay "neutral." - Check their demographics online - the lack of black and brown representation throughout the company and in leadership is laughable - Majority of recent diversity and inclusion initiatives are led by white managers, mainly men - that should be enough said as to how problematic this is - Hires unethical people - when I say unethical I mean they hire people comfortable enough to rant about how BLM is a political issue in all company Slack channels, - You will be surrounded by frat bros - enough said as to why this will be a detriment to your mental wellbeing - They are currently offering $4k a referral, which just feeds into the lasting issue of nepotism and invasion of the frat boys - having most of the people on the sales floor being siblings, in-laws, and frat/sorority connected should not be the norm in a major city. There will be no diversity if you only ever hire people who all pledged the same PWI organizations - Your success is based on your team, so good luck. Your manager may or may not be willing to advocate for you it is solely the luck of the draw - Management can be problematic at times, and by problematic I mean classist, prejudice, and won't bat an eyelash at blatant favoritism - There are a lot of AE's here that are truly unprofessional; they no-show calls, don't communicate with SDR's, try and be shady (which is a problem because that is how we get paid), and some even have the nerve to be rude
