Pros

Great people, great collaboration, great benefits, great brand, opportunity to move into new area's, was my favorite job ever until the pandemic

Cons

*Handling of employees during the pandemic was dreadful, allowed an internal Slack channel where unvaccinated employees were shamed and ostracized and not given a voice. Woke leadership including the CEO Dan Springer and Chief People Officer Joan Burke mandated getting vaccinated despite people working remote and despite a small % of the business being Federal and they insisted it was required because of the Federal business. *Low pay relative to the industry *DEI - mandated trainings all the time, screamed inclusivity at every opportunity, really in your face *Despite the above intense focus on inclusivity, when the pandemic hit the unvaccinated were EXCLUDED, they threw all the inclusivity out the window *Too many management layers - RVP, AVP, VP...

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.
