Why does DocuSign have 6k+ employees?
Stupid me was thinking Alexa org was the most bloated https://twitter.com/DocuSign/status/1575567825187414016?
Because the past 12 years was essentially free money season. Hence everyone hired like growth was infinite.
Every manager wants more headcount
Ugh the number of SWEs thinking they alone can plan, research, design, ship, market, pitch, sell, maintain, and kill products and complaining that companies have bloated headcounts... 🤦♀️ Things aren't only what they seem from a layman user's perspective. Sure 6000 can be bloated for DocuSign but I feel like these recent posts on how big a company is aren't construtively debating whether, say, DocuSign needs 4000 vs 6000 people judging its scope but instead saying shit like "I can build .... in 1 week, why the hell do they need 6K people?" which is what annoys me. Sorry if you are not a dev / if I misunderpreted your intention, OP! So tired of posts saying that an org is bloated and claiming that 10 developers can make the same product lol
Yet you have not answered the question or just reaffirmed what the OP mentioned that it is a bloated number!
So amazon can have 1M workers but docu cannot have 6k? WTF?
Because they’re an actual company with tons of customers? What kind of dumbass question is this?
1.3M+ customers
DocuSign really offers scale imo. A standardized process and document repository. I question the necessity of the browser fingerprinting bells and whistles. And collecting IP/location is trivial.
They need 6k employees for that?
A company like DocuSign would have many sales reps. A few dozen engineering teams, marketing, advertising, strategy, etc. I can see it.
