Pros

- a well-known logo for your resume - a good understanding/learning of what Saas selling is - compensation is big and fat even for people under their quota ( for someone who has begun his career in saas selling ) - friendly colleagues and spirit of camaraderie - not too much pressure BUT (see bellow)

Cons

- for your path to career , this company is known for quick and easy selling without any value. It's hard to get a move into a techy company ( databricks, Wize, etc ... ) - it's still a esignature business despite the marketing fluff talking - TOXIC MANAGEMENT environment , when you make your debut in the company you could be the victim of some hazing from your peers who has politic favor from the management and who are working some accounts in your territory under the table - TOXIC bis : Managers could dispatch territory and promotion with 2 criteria : Relationship ( or friends with benefits ) , Woke diversity criteria ( female and non white ) - TOXIC ter : my manager was able to make up stories , fairy tales and lies around some unfair quotas and accounts dispatch. BONUS : if someone in the sales team has 2 or even 3 territories under his belt, this one is gonna have : big fat commissions , shootout rewards, president club and promotion ... and in the other hand, with your light weighted territory, you will just have the heat behind your neck with a PIP process ( under 75% of your quota achievement ) and threats because you 're talking too much

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.
