Pros

I loved DocuSign as an intern and for some time when I was back full-time. During my first 9-month here, DocuSign was great at least in the beginning and I couldn't imagine a better place for me to be working. Had a blast during my internship and everyone was super friendly, I knew immediately that I wanted to come back. When I returned, I was given interesting projects, had a supportive mentor and manager. My mentor especially was the best part of my time here as I'm very close with him from my internship and learned a lot from him throughout my time here. DocuSign was also at the top of the game then when I joined during the pandemic.

Cons

However, before I hit my 1-year mark, things were turning sour. I lost my amazing manager and was starting to feel clueless on where the direction the team was going. I was close with my mentor and knew that at least with him I thought we could handle this hiccup as we wait for my manager replacement. That wait became 6-month about the same amount of time, I've been here full-time. I wasn't given interesting projects even when I asked for them, most likely because I didn't have a manager. I started preparing for interviews, then soon found out my mentor left and saw many other colleagues I knew since I was an intern leave as well. While my time currently at DocuSign isn't so great, I don't regret coming back.

Pros

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Cons

Lack of team cohesion among departments. Lots of communication and accountability breakdowns, siloed efforts. Immature processes and undeveloped operations. Unqualified and ineffective leadership: I was to be the Business Process Lead but mid-interview, the hiring manager told me they would instead place me in a very small sub-department reporting into Finance Business Transformation. It was never clear if this was meant to be temporary or permanent... I was successful in facilitating and contributing to a project that was 10+ years overdue at Docusign. The managing director I reported to was laid off so a more tenured employee took over as "manager" who had never been in charge of people and it showed. Despite my contributions, I was told how little they valued my work and efforts on a successful project. Definitely a level disparity as I have been Sr. Finance Manager twice and head of a global department reporting into VP level and up. It appeared that all this new "manager" wanted was a subservient cog to condescend, demotivate, and talk down to. Beyond ridiculous to squander my 15 years of corporate experience.
