Pros

In my role, I interview a lot of people who often ask the question, "What makes DocuSign culture special?" Short answer: the product and the people. Long story: The problem that DocuSign resolves is one that everyone from a grandparent to the CEO of a large company understands, so whether you're talking to a customer who recently implemented the product or a person you've just met explaining what you do for a living, the response to DocuSign is a responding, "Wow! I love your company and the product!" Working for an organization that yields that emotional response is very validating. Our mission and our product change business culture, improve efficiencies, and truly make people's lives simpler and easier. Everyone can appreciate that, and I think that feeling extends into the second thing that makes DocuSign's culture special, the people. The people who work at DocuSign are smart, driven, and well-rounded. If you're looking for a place where you feel like a small fish in a big pond, surrounded by talent that will elevate your game, this is the spot. There are very few gaps in organizational effectiveness, and it's fun to interact with departments and orgs within the company, knowing that you're working with a truly best-in-class group. But, the company is in no way done growing and evolving, so there are certainly problems that can be resolved and areas where smart people can make a meaningful impact.

Cons

With so many interdependent departments and processes, evolving some of the areas of inefficiency can be arduous. Mature markets, such as NA, may consider engaging with consultancies to solve some of the bigger organizational challenges.

It is fun to work at a company whose product touches everybody. And I agree the people do make you up your game which is good. I asked Dan the same question re processes in his Town Hall with our team today. How can we identify the areas where we really need to improve a legacy process that doesn't serve us anymore. All I can say in a public forum was that he is on it and his answer was insightful and gave me hope that we will see some results in key areas. And I'd encourage you to look for areas in your own team that can be cleaned up. Does this make sense today? is probably a question we could all ask ourselves. Habits are hard to break but observation is the first step towards change.

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.
