I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Docusign (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2021
Interview
A lot of the reviews I read were scary so I wanted to share my experience. Overall, this was one of my best experiences with interviewing.
I applied online. Took about two weeks to hear back from the recruiter to set up a phone screen. Went as expected. If you don't have a 1-2 minute elevator pitch for your work experience, create one.
Set up interview with RVP later in the week. It was about 30-45 mins long. Very relaxed with standard sales interview questions. Be able to talk about your sales experience...your goals, metrics, etc. That all went well. Was told I would be moving on to the final interview with two other RVPs on the team to do a mock presentation.
Final interview was about a week later (I think they space it out a bit to give you time to prep). This one was literally only scheduled for 25 minutes. The two other RVPs were really friendly. Started with them introducing themselves and me giving my resume rundown and then we jumped into the mock presentation. Despite a little bit of nerves, it went well. They gave immediate feedback - things I did well and areas for improvement, I honestly really appreciated that part. I was told I would hear back by the following Monday but my recruiter reached out the next day to tell me they wanted to offer me the job.
I feel the entire process was super transparent and easy. Everyone I spoke to was very easy going (I too am very easy going, so maybe that played a role) but that seems like the general company culture. My recruiter was amazing and the one time she missed one of my emails, she apologized profusely about it. The RVPs seem like they are not only looking for a good sales person but some who is a good fit culturally as well. They ask questions like "what do you need in a manager?" which to me says they care about their people and want them to succeed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Docusign (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2021
Interview
It was 7 rounds of the same questions basically, and three of the people didnt know the position I was interviewing for. They asked me multiple times who set up the interview
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Docusign in May 2021
Interview
It was a seamless process. Everyone involved was highly professional and friendly. Had a first call with a sales recruiter where she looked for a culture fit and we also had an in-depth discussion of my background. Based on my experience the recruiter suggested that I would be more suitable for a higher level AE role, so I went through the process for that role instead. It involved multiple rounds of interviews and a final presentation to a few VPs and a peer. Not easy but if you prepare well and know what you're doing, then you'll be fine.
Overall, it was a great experience that made me take the offer from DocuSign over others. I was especially impressed with the professionalism of the sales recruiters like Amy and Claire.
