Pros

The people here really try to live the values the company espouses. As a manager I can see the effort my peers in "middle management" try to be coaches, and really make an effort to address life balance, growth, diversity. When there is conflict, it is healthy in that people have their hearts in what they think is best, vs a political agenda ( at least in Engineering ). Life balance is great. Folks have a focused 8 hour day and leave at reasonable times. The realities of commuting and costs of living in the bay area is a reality we don't take for granted. Working from home 1 to 2 days a week is not an exception, it's a norm. If you are working late on a regular basis, then something has failed, it is not heroic. we are in a high growth phase so with growth there is opportunity in many facets ( comp, career, learning ) I feel my most comfortable self here, which may be an artifact of my time in career as well, but for the most part I don't feel like I have to fit a certain persona to be accepted as compared to previous companies.

Cons

with growth can come some growing pains we need to get better at not just doing things they way they were done before...for a relatively small company we have some slow legacy internal processes Our Jira setup could be a lot more efficient.

Thank you for sharing so many detailed thoughts. It is really wonderful to read that you find managers to be coaches and that work / life balance is valued by the entire team. It is even more wonderful to here that you can be your true self at DocuSign and don't have to fit a persona. That's pretty incredible and really a testament to you, your team, your manager and our company. If we can do that, we truly have accomplished something valuable. Thanks again.

Pros

Seriously, it's all about luck with your manager and territory. If you land a good one, the money can really flow. Honestly, you don't even need to deep dive into the details. Just hope for the best and you might strike gold. It's a real gamble sometimes, but that's how it goes.

Cons

Seriously, these sales quotas feel designed for us to fall flat on our faces. It's wild how management sometimes pushes us towards tactics that feel a little sketch. And don't even get me started on selling IAM; it's a real uphill battle. Honestly, the leadership here just isn't cutting it. It's frustrating to feel like you're set up for failure and not getting the support you need.
