    I mean, I could see them having a few hundred employees total at DocuSign, but holy crap! What do they all do?

    There are infinitely more complex pieces of software out there with less than a tenth of the number of employees.

      Sales, marketing and support most likely. It has a massive corporate userbase. I’m guessing the actual tech side of the house is only a small fraction.

      I used to work at DS and there was definitely overhiring done during the early pandemic when the stock price was going up. At least three people I know were let go in this round and they were in technical teams, which was surprising.
