Pros

Benefits - shares and insurance are okay. Ability to work from home during pandemic is nice.

Cons

Individual groups/supervisors/managers style may not align with what DocuSign promotes and promises employees. Not great for working parents during pandemic. It's been very stressful with more work, less flexibility and constant micromanaging since we've been working from home. Can't change positions internally within one year of a new role. Not very diverse at all.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It of course is disappointing to read of your experience. It certainly has been challenging for working parents during COVID-19. We have tried to offer support through flexible working hours, working remotely for all, DocuSign Cares, Personal Leave options and the recently announced Emergency Childcare Support. But we know in some cases due to circumstances, this may not be enough. We wish you the best in your next role.

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.
