Re:DocuSign to cut workforce by 9% as part of restructuring ... by bushbaba on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @02:30PM (#33011472)
The sales cost and R&D costs seem high. I could see sales cost being high to get faster adoption with tail-end profit. BUT 450M R&D... it's a document signing application. Seems like there's room to cut costs without impact to the business. For example, there's no way Box spent 450M/year in R&D to build out it's own docusign equivalent.

So true... I could have done that in a weekend!

Seriously you're dead right. I just never get tired of that callback.

There's a lot of space between a weekend and $450M.
