Process
Don't waste your time interviewing here.
I spent 4 hours in a panel round interview with Docusign. They left me with only 20 minutes to complete both coding and design system challenges.
Most of the time, I felt like I was being interrogated about how agile tech companies work. This left the impression that:
a) they're using candidates to figure out how to run a tech company, and
b) they were looking for someone who would fit into a role there and operate like a cog in a machine.
When I pushed back on their in-office policy, I received a mix of answers, but it seems they are adamant about forcing people in (e.g., remote workers are being pushed to move closer to an office). This is absurd, considering most tech companies now are remote-first.
Also, they just hired a Diversity & Inclusion officer. The company is nearly 20 years old, and this is a huge red flag in my opinion. Throughout my entire interview process, all the engineers I spoke with were male and predominantly white.

Docusign Work Experiences
- 5.0Compelling Work; Even Better PeopleSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 22, 2021Pros: I worked in the tech industry for many years and happily progressed on my career path when a recruiter from DocuSign reached out to me. I used their products over the years and was aware of their frequent high ranking on the 'best places to work' list, but wasn't actively looking for new opportunities. The recruiter, Priya, was very personable and affable in her 'cold call' email. Her initial email was so personal that I felt compelled to thank her for reaching out. In short succession, and without 'sales pressure,' she connected me with a hiring manager. Again, it was a great first impression meeting with the Hiring Manager, and we were able to find a role that makes good use of my strengths and offers plenty of personal and professional growth. I've been with DocuSign several months, enough for the honeymoon period to wane (and vague enough so I can't be fingerprinted for this review), and I still feel compelled to write this review. I've found a great role; it is industry-leading in its charter (I am keeping it vague here), I work hard (this is a good thing), and I am challenged daily. DocuSign's corporate consciousness aligns strongly with my own values: * Environmentalism * Social justice * Prioritizing mental health among their employees * Work-life balance.Cons: I have not found any cons, really.
- 1.0Run from the new leadershipSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 8, 2022Pros: Work-life balance used to be good.Cons: 1. Stock price keeps taking a beating. 2. Dishonest communication from leadership, who keeps hiring more executives and paying employees less. 3. Leadership keeps lying to employees.
- 5.0Great Work, Great PaySoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeChicago, Illinois, United StatesFebruary 10, 2021Pros: Great environment, interesting work, and competitive pay.Cons: None that I could think of.
