Great product, individual contributors and mid management
Svantaggi
Executive team dysfunctional culture, in-fighting, constantly changing strategies. Drives image of inclusion, diversity but more of a marketing ploy than a practiced culture.
Risposta di Docusign
8y
Well, this certainly is a more difficult review to read and respond to. Let me just say that in my experience as woman at DocuSign I have seen a great shift (for the positive) in our culture of inclusiveness at the company over the four years I have been working here. ERGs like Women@docusign became more active and the focus on diversity on multiple dimensions has only accelerated under Dan's leadership. When I joined, there was one woman on the board and none on Exec Staff -- for 3 years. Now Dan has two female direct reports and he added another woman to the board. That to me was oxygen. Dan speaks about diversity as if it is just a given -- it's obvious that it's the right thing to do. Do we have a ways to go? Absolutely. Is there a commitment? I believe so. I would not stay if there wasn't. However, I appreciate that your perspective and experience are different than mine. And I wish you the best in your next gig.
Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.
Svantaggi
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.
