DocuSign has an incredible culture, Leadership (C-Level) Team, and there are lots of benefits to being a full time employee. I have lovingly been with this company for a loyal 6.5 years, and have held roles in both Sales and Customer Success and Enablement.
Cons
I have been with the Company for 6.5 years, and my current [new] Manager/Director will not be flexible on remote work, even though my role can very easily be done 100% remotely.

Congrats on passing the 6.5 year mark. Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding working remotely. Different roles and different teams may require employees to work more consistently in the office. For instance, Workplace Services or Security typically have to be onsite. And while you might get a lot done at home, your colleagues and overall team benefit from you being at work-- brainstorming, best practice sharing can be facilitated by spontaneous interactions. That's why it typically is left up to the manager. So, we'd encourage you to speak to your manager and/or HR Business Partner in this case Olga Kibler or Sara Engel. I will also share your review with Lambert Walsh. Thanks again for sharing such detailed thoughts.
Great work life balance, good people, supportive culture
Cons
Not too much innovation development, Not too interested in in house ML/Ai features

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.
