Pros

Great C-level leadership. The CEO seems to care about employees.

Docusign brand.

Decent benefits.

Product engineering gets lunch twice a week, which is weird but nice.

Opportunities to learn.

Regular surveys and employee feedback.

Cons

Not all teams have good work culture. Being an SDET in particular sucks. There are emails from release managers/on-call personnel on every Saturday/Sunday asking you to investigate failures. Work-life balance is poor, and a lot of folks, being in their first job or without family commitments, seem to be fine with it. SDET management is political and condescending. There is favoritism and a lack of transparency. It seems that both Seattle and SF are equally bad.

Tech stack is outdated.

Advice to Management

Put bad managers on a PIP.

Create or emphasize organizational values so that teams align and create a uniform work culture.

The 401k match can be improved.
