Pluspunten

I've got to hand it to our PR team - having someone actively read and respond to Glassdoor reviews is a great way to ensure our ratings are high. It's unfortunate that that alone is not enough to attract and retain talent. We do have very reasonable work-life balance, somewhat decent career mobility, and it's incredibly difficult to get fired. So if you are a consistent B player seeking a place with job security - you've come to the right place!

Minpunten

Some serious house cleaning is needed in engineering - our organization is bureaucratic, ambiguous, process-heavy, and highly ineffective. This prevents us from being innovative, disruptive, and high performant - and we surely won't be able to attract or retain top talent. The pay is also another huge problem, you have to be willing to pay for and retain A players! Every year I always see our top talent leave for better offers while B players continue to stick around.

Pluspunten

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.
