Pros

I've worked at two other major software engineering companies, and DocuSign has the best overall culture by far. The kind of people who work here, the values, the mission, the commitment to give back.

We have a cohesive product strategy, and we are making smart acquisitions.

We have reliable technology and a trustworthy culture. We work hard to be and remain compliant with many industry and governmental standards. Customers who use DocuSign trust us to meet our commitments, and we do that every day.

The benefits are as good as the other two large companies where I have worked. Of course, we don't have as big pockets as Big Tech; however, our compensation is very competitive. We have incentives, and the company is performing very well right now!

What I have stated year after year in my reviews here is that DocuSign hires the best people for each job in a thoughtful way. The people here are just plain nice. There aren't any a—holes here (well, nobody's perfect). I continue to be very impressed at the quality of our hiring. Even in a competitive market, we continue to set the hiring bar very high and are bringing in excellent, qualified, talented people. It is such a pleasure to be surrounded by good people who are good at what they do, and good people who are kind, curious, and motivated.

I feel good about working here. Our commitment to environmental sustainability, giving back, support for diversity and social justice, our adoption of Juneteenth as a corporate holiday says a lot about what we believe in.

The company is doing a great job in managing the transition to a hybrid remote/local work culture. The company is making remote work as satisfying, as fulfilling, and as successful as possible. Our company is well suited to remote work.

Cons

We're not Amazon, Facebook, or Google, but we don't chase after those things.

I'd like to see more promotions happening. Our current job opportunities are excellent and fulfilling, but I wonder about long-term upward mobility here at the company.

I'd like to see the company doing even more to reach out to diverse sources of candidates.

Of course, there are challenges in the transition from a start-up culture to a large-mid-sized company; however, our management is doing a great job at filling in the gaps and strengthening our maturity in key areas.

Advice to Management
  • Keep the hiring bar high!
  • Continue to be thoughtful in our hiring.
  • Make smart, targeted acquisitions.
