Pros

Talented people at a growing company. Great opportunity to make a significant contribution that will impact the future of the company. Added bonus that our product helps save the environment and simplifies business processes.

Cons

Some internal frustration about future of company and pending IPO talk. So much room to continue to grow, need additional resources to help focus.

Thanks for adding your thoughts. Much appreciated. I get your point re tension between growth and resource constraints but I have a lot of faith in Mike Sheridan, our CFO, and believe he can get us on the path to a successful IPO. "Successful" is the key word here. That's my personal POV. Re taking care of good people, please feel free to share your ideas with me or Erisman (HR -- People Development) or Mahar (comp/benefits) and your Exec Staff member. We really would love to make sure we do this and see all the opportunities for us to do that.

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.
