Docusign reviews

I started and quit during the pandemic. I was so excited due to the reputation of the company, CSR mission, and employee-centric culture. However, it started poorly when my offer was lowballed and my recruiter basically got mad at me for trying to counter - he threatened to retract the offer. I ended up finally accepting the lowball offer it b/c it was during the pandemic. For perspective, I had one headcount to hire and the salary range for an hourly individual contributor reporting to me came back making more than me, with almost as much stock. Then came into manage a department that never replaced the prior SME manager when he left 5 years prior, just kept shuffling the employees around. The department was held together with a giant roll of duct tape - and then the company almost doubled in size during the pandemic. The policies and procedures weren't scalable, the whole thing needed to be knocked down and rebuilt. And then there was a change in leadership...so trying to make progress was painstakingly slow if at all. I left thinking that really their Finance org runs more like an old school legal firm masquerading as a tech company. It will take time to right the ship and I have no doubt that they'll get there but I didn't have the energy to see it through - especially considering I didn't feel appropriately compensated.

Extremely low salary compared to other tech companies for sales people. CEO said in January everyone would receive 6% raises, then two weeks later took it back (sales were apparently excluded in that statement) and said “we’re either on the bus or you can leave.” Needless to say, I see 5-7 LinkedIn posts a week with (mostly sales) people leaving DocuSign. Time will tell if CLM product can truly be a game changer against other competitors.
