      Pros

      * DocuSign provides a lot of great perks for their employees and regularly solicit feedback to raise the bar. 20 days PTO, 401k match, transportation, lawyers!? ( I don't know much about this), probably other cool stuff I'm forgetting. * The positive impact on the environment from the software along with DocuSign's additional efforts in protecting the environment are inspiring. * Employee Resource Groups and DocuSign's efforts to promote diversity in both leadership and non-leadership positions is great. I have a ton of respect for the way Tom Casey, our SVP of Engineering, dives into a lot of challenging conversations and is willing to change his thinking when challenged. * DocuSign really does care a lot about trust, security, and respecting our user's privacy. I respect that I have not had to implement any features that are user-unfriendly/hostile. People actually care.

      Cons

      * I would not recommend DocuSign as a place to start one's career as a software engineer. Depending on your team, you might often work on code that is quite dated. While it is a good place to work, at some point, you'll probably want to move on, and the experience you'll have gained here might not be ideal for moving on to that next position. * Engineering feels fragmented. Questions that feel like they should have a general, company-wide answer, sometimes require going from team to team to get an answer. * Our process for planning and delivering new features is not agile at all. DocuSign is so focused on protecting its core business and maintaining its SLAs that new development can often be hindered as a result. I think there's potential to create more efficient paths forward for smaller products. * Deadlines can be aggressive. I don't feel overworked, but I do feel a general sense of disappointment from often not measuring up to what DocuSign wants us to accomplish. * Career advancement can depend on the visibility and success of your project.

      Thank you for writing such a detailed review. Reviews like yours help candidate’s get an insider’s perspective. We will be sharing your review with Tom Casey and HR leaders for Product Development. It’s great to hear that you are pleased with the company benefits and the new legal advice benefit. And yes, our mission and impact on the world, especially the forests, is inspiring to me as well. We will pass on your kind words to Tom Casey. Love hearing that he is open and encourages challenging conversations especially about diversity. Thank you also for your input about the process as regards delivering new features and career advancement. Often people provide constructive feedback but without the details that you are providing and suggestions on how to make it better. So thank you for that.

      Pros

      DocuSign is the place to be, the company leadership has shown how much they care about the employees especially during the pandemic. There is ample opportunity to grow and show your talent. Employees love what they are doing and put in their best into the product and customers love DocuSign. DocuSign taking huge steps in being Developer focused, our APIs and SDKs are now more developer centric and makes life easy for devs integrating DocuSign into their workflows.

      Cons

      Compensation needs to get better, and there are still some growing pains.
