Pros

DocuSign has the industry leading product and treats it employees very well in all facets. Good compensation and good benefits (4 weeks of vacation right from the beginning). DocuSign also has a good work life balance environment.

Cons

No significant cons, except wish the 401k has company matching, but no big deal.

Pros

First and foremost, DocuSign's work life balance is hard to beat. Flexibility in working schedules allows employees to accommodate their outside-of-work needs accordingly and remain productive and focused. This is all based on trust relationships between employees and supervisors, and those who were not able to accommodate to this culture and value set have been managed out of the company. Work is usually very interesting and challenging, I have never felt bored with the tasks at hand and there is always a ton of work in many other areas waiting for somebody to take on, in case you ever feel in need of a change. DocuSign also supports employee's mobility in order to retain good talent and foster employees growth. I have witnessed many people moving between offices, roles and teams without much of an issue. There is also a wealth of opportunities to bond and interact with your team and people in other roles by participating in many of the social activities being organized throughout the year, including Friday Happy Hours, team off-sites, picnics, sporting events, etc. Overall, DocuSign is a great place to work.

Cons

It is very well known that DocuSign's compensation is lower than other companies in the area of the same size and maturity leve, but for many of us a good work/life balance kind of evens it out. Also, although DocuSign offers a good amount of PTO and 100% paid premiums in health coverage for employees, the company is falling behind in other benefits like 401K matching, reasonably priced health premiums for family members and their parental leave is very sub par compared to the rest of the companies in the Bay Area. Finally, our hiring processes are all over the place and range very widely between teams, so we are in desperate need of more standardized and purified processes.

Great review. Thanks very much for the details. Would love to have more understanding around hiring processes. Please share your thoughts with your recruiting point person or Mike Euglow. Not sure if you mean different groups get more resources or the processes differ.

Pros

Fun office environment with good people A lot of smart people doing challenging work everyday Fairly easy to switch teams if you find other work that is interesting to you

Cons

No 401k match. There are a lot of management levels Seems like various engineering teams are not driving in the same direction; sometimes competing priorities

Thanks for the review. Keep asking questions, we'll keep responding. Transparency can evolve from both sides -- managements and employees. It's a conversation. Let's keep talking.
