Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks.
Overall, it was a fairly long interview process, consisting of seven rounds with quite varied formats. Some interviewers asked rather peculiar questions that I hadn't encountered before. The Head of Engineering, in particular, did not seem especially strong at interviewing, which made parts of the process feel awkward.

Pros: DocuSign has the industry-leading product and treats its 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 I wish the 401k had company matching, but it's no big deal.
