Pros

Great Benefits Stock Awards Employee Stock Purchase Program Catered Free lunches, when the office isn't shut down. Free Drinks and Snacks Paternity Leave 4 weeks vacation Work From Home

Cons

Management needs to re-examine their decisions. No promotions within. Promote new hires only. Employee stock awards get smaller and smaller as you work harder and harder. Terrible at Hiring the right people for the job Too many PMs and too many meetings. Less time to work More managers than engineers. Too much dead weight, time to trim the fat. Employees are not valued in certain orgs. All replaceable. Poor Morale

Thank you for your detailed review and your feedback. It’s great to hear you appreciate the full range of benefits. It is true that as we grow and mature as a company, the size of equity grants get smaller in value as the risk/reward trade offs also shift. 6 years ago, the grants were bigger in terms of number of shares, but it wasn’t guaranteed that DocuSign would become a $20-40 billion market cap company. So, the company’s equity grant approach is in line with industry. As for your comments regarding, hiring, too many people, poor morale, thank you for sharing your view. We’d encourage to speak to your manager, HR and also Tom Casey. His door is open, and Tom is intent on creating a best in class Product Development organization.

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.
