Our executive board are in the global top 1% and if you think they care about the other 99% you’re wrong and how this company has changed over the last four years completely backs me up on where their priorities really lay. (I’ll give you a hint it’s not their employees it’s their brokerages) Dan our CEOs salary is 60x what I make per year if I hit OTE.. I like Dan he’s a nice dude this just yells wealth inequality. Dan’s labor per year is not worth 60x mine. On top of that Dan got 1 million shares when starting at DocuSign 4 years ago which is 1000x what I got when I started at the same time..... Add in that our territories for FY22 have shrunk substantially while quotas have increased substantially while our profit and earnings per share has never been higher. To me this YELLS that DocuSigns executive board does not care about their employees rather they care about their shareholders first and foremost BECAUSE our executive board are the largest shareholders. As an employee I feel like there is this media blitz about employees first yet I see what is actually happening and how we’ve changed over the last 4 years and I would say we do not put employees first as shown by our CEOs ridiculous pay and share allocation and how they are making it harder and harder for their sales staff to make good money bc lower sales payout inherently helps our share price. This is representative across our entire C suite. To me when I found this out my view on Dan and our entire executive board has completely changed and I am frankly disgusted.

It’s always hard to read a 1-star review. I can’t speak to the specifics of the changes in sales territory and quota, but we do have more products to sell and more companies (and their General Counsels) are open to using electronic signature than they were 5 years ago. So, there might be greater TAM in the territories than there were previously. By carving up the territories, we can go deeper. But I’d encourage you to share your thoughts on this with Loren or Dan. If there is one thing I know about Dan, you will get an answer and he will quite willingly engage in a debate with you. As for Dan’s compensation, as an employee who has been here for almost 7 years, I can tell you I believe that we are a $40B mainly because of Dan’s leadership. It was never a done deal that we would make it. We had our eyes set on an IPO a few times and called it off. Dan turned this company around in less than 2 years of walking in the doors of 221 Main St. and accomplished what none of the former 3 or 4 CEOs were able to do – pull off a successful IPO, build a $40B company and enable our original investors to realize massive gains on their investments. You speak about him caring about shareholders – but that’s us. That is every single employee because we all own shares. And those extra shares the Board grants him every year? He is giving them all away to charities in the communities where we have offices. His first generous grant was to the Boy’s and Girl’s Club of San Francisco. He is doing it now, not later via a charitable trust but today. Now. When people and communities need it.

Mostly nice people, dedicated to their specific roles.

Minpunten

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.
