Great coworkers and technology in a fun space.

Inconvénients

Glassdoor has jumped the skark, naming this a best company to work. CEO is killing company with his hubris. He keeps hiring VPs, count is over 60. For a company this size? Nobody knows what the VPs do, everyone thinks its a big, sad joke. All VP hires are men, by the way. Dude does not have a clue, think he's the Master of the Universe. His VPs keep him from reality, not one has any balls. Employees are underpaid and overworked. Entire dept quit together last month. Never seen that before. And so have many long time employees and top sales performers. Never worked at a place where everyone is so miserable, waiting for their exit. This is not how the company was a few years ago. CEO is trying to blend old school management at say GE, IBM, with Valley culture, and copying only the worst aspects of each one. He expects employees to work around the clock like other startups. But without a stake in the company or the benefits and perks that are standard here in the Valley. Too stupid to realize that happy employees make great companies. Too much misery can take a company down, however great your technology.

Thanks for writing this review. I personally don't recognize the company you describe above or perhaps its because we now can see the fruits of the investments in seasoned executives and acquisitions that the company has made in the past two years. We set some pretty audacious goals a few years ago and what has been amazing is how we have achieved them. Keith gets very high ratings internally and senior management is very accessible and has nurtured a culture of transparency. We have a quarterly All Hands meeting and for the months that there is no All Hands, we have a Leadership meeting with Q&A for all directors worldwide. We have an open Forum on Chatter called "Need More Cowbell" where people post all sorts of questions -- even heated ones about everything from benefits to expenses to diversity. However, I respect your opinion and hope two things: that you have landed in a good spot and that you bought your DocuSign options. Best of luck to you!

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Inconvénients

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.
