Pros
At the time of writing, I've been here two months.
Culture
There is a real sense of 'we', 'us' and togetherness at DocuSign that I've never experienced at other SaaS companies, and likely never will again. Sure, we have our branded t-shirts, beer on a Friday, quiz nights but culture means so much more here.
From the outset at the interview, you sense you are working with a company who carefully considers their Employee experience. Timely, well planned updates and sincere communication, show you how much DocuSign genuinely cares.
Structured on-boarding, coupled with clear objectives at Company and team level ensure everyone is pulling in the same direction. I'm in no doubt of what my team are here to achieve and personally never felt so empowered to drive change - it builds palpable confidence which ultimately benefits our customers in the long run.
Effective Execution
We own problems. We are accountable. We execute. Every. Single. Damn. Time. Kind of sums it up.
Born Problem Solvers & Creative People
Solutions, solutions, solutions. It is all you hear in the: canteen, hallways, kitchen, desks, water cooler. Very refreshing to be part of a company that has found their 'why' and sense of identity.
Civil disagreement is welcomed, however, admiring the problem, is not. What kind of work environment does this create? Well rounded, humble human beings who leave their egos at the door and genuinely want to solve real world problems.
Cons
Rapid growth and scale. We are growing rapidly and this creates challenges with regards process.
Having said that, this challenge is why I am here. How do we increase revenue growth YoY, improve Customer experience and develop processes for scale with a smile on our face? (I should put this in Pro).
The faint of heart or adverse to change need not apply.
