Pros

- Impressive product which has the huge potential to transform how the people/companies use the system of agreement. Think about how easy is to sign a contract (which is legally binding) anywhere in the world. - Smart people who are motivated to make the product better. - DocuImpact: 3 days/year to volunteer for non profit. - Catered lunches twice/week, Friday evening Pizza party and happy hours every other week. - RSU's

Cons

- It would be awesome if the company matched 410K contribution. - How about catered lunches and breakfast everyday ?

Pros

Great work life balance. High degree of work autonomy. Challenging and high visibility projects. Relaxed culture.

Cons

Open office format with lots of background noise even on engineering floors. You'll be buying headphones on week 2. Any internal process that requires signatures will require constant reminders and follow-ups to see it go through. Like any enterprise software company that's been around for a decade, there are isolated pockets in the codebase that are unmaintainable, lack ownership, and you'll eventually have to cross your fingers and modify at some point.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope you bubble up your ideas re the risk-based approached with Tom Casey and Vanessa Pegueros. Sounds like one worth exploring.

Pros

After having spent years at a gigantic software company, I greatly cherish the influence and scope of work that I have now at DocuSign. It's about "just right" size where you have support and a full set of corporate services like IT, HR, facilities, etc but small enough that when you see a problem that needs addressed, you can very often become a champion to solve that issue without having to check with 20 people first. You end up solving the problem at many or every level in which it needs to be addressed, which is incredibly rewarding. DocuSign is also a fairly flexible work environment for engineers, coming up with creative schedules, processes and locations for you to achieve your goals. Finally, DocuSign is very exciting right now because our new CEO has been on board for just long enough to really have a grasp of everything and is starting to make the big moves we hoped the company would make for it's future. Will we IPO soon? Don't ask me, but it sure seems like we've been closer than ever in the 3+ years I have worked here. Finally, it is a company that cares about it's employees and the communities in which we live. They have a matching gifts IMPACT program for non profits, plus continually add better and better benefits to support all sorts of workers with different abilities and life constraints. Recent changes to family leave, for example , were very generous. Diversity and gender equity are more than just checkboxes on a list here. They really seem to mean it.

Cons

Split between Seattle and San Francisco headquarters still has some division in ways teams work, style, process and leadership. I think with new leaders these things are starting to be ironed out, but it has caused a slow in delivery of some key things, IMHO.

Always good to hear from the engineering side of the house. Many thanks for your detailed review. Please bubble up any areas that you think have been slowed down which are critical to our business. My bet is Tom Casey would be all ears. As for equity, some of that has been addressed with RSUs but perhaps not all. Please raise that question during the All Hands by submitting it in advance via our survey.
