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.

Pros

Admittedly, I've been with the organization for under a year however DocuSign is the only company I've worked for that seems to truly craft an innovative strategy while putting their employees first. They offer a great work life balance, good growth opportunities, strong benefits, and awesome team members to collaborate with. Also, I find great satisfaction working a company that changes the way people interact and do business. It's hard to go back to thinking about printing loads of paper to throw a signature on it.

Cons

One of the downsides to date is there is no 401k match which is a benefit that I've come to expect.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Glad to hear you are happy here and finding & great satisfaction;. 401K match -- Dan has been pretty clear that this will be top of the list post IPO. So let's keep focused and nail that!

Pros

5+ years in, and the culture in engineering hasn't really suffered from all the growth. Great people to work with; smart, fun, kind, helpful. Lots of great projects in the pipeline. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Compensation could be better (if you start low, hard to increase to industry levels).
