Today, when we were speaking with Dr. Darren in the Docklands, he shared his belief that the Irish often do not follow exact directions and do not match their work to the syllabus. Therefore, I’m going to follow the lead of the Irish and write about my lovely day instead. After the site visit this…

Shepard’s Lifestyle
Today we had a day-trip to rural Ireland, and we stopped at Kilkenny, Wicklow Mountains National Park, and a Sheep farm. It was our first day seeing the country side of Ireland and it was very fascinating to see how the community contrasts from a fast growing city like Dublin. Our first stop was Kilkenny,…
Country Gals For The Day
Major change of pace today as we visited the rural area of Wicklow, where we got to see incredible views and beautiful nature. As much as I love Dublin, taking the day away was absolutely worth it. I found myself staring out at the water and not wanting to leave. We also got to visit…
Shear Perfection
Sunshine, mountains, and loads of sheep; it easily became my favorite day so far. We started the day off with eerie, foggy weather when we loaded into the mega-bus, but soon enough the warm rays of the sun showed themselves. The view was absolutely amazing, don’t get me wrong Dublin is also beautiful, but something…
Ireland Continues to be Ostentatious
First off, I would like to start off with saying that rural Ireland is unmatched to almost any place that I’ve ever been. Attached to below are some photos from our road trip today and be sure to take the opportunity to check them out before reading the rest of the blog. Some of the…
First Day Trip
Today, we were able to take a day trip on the Wild Rover Tour and visit places such as Kilkenny, the Wicklow Mountains, and Glendalough National Park. It was a bright and early wake up at 7:15am with a 2 hour drive to Kilkenny. The small village of Kilkenny was very nice and I had…
A land like no other
I think today was my favorite day from my trip so far. We took a bus traveling through Kilkenny to Wicklow, and finally Glendalough. Each stop we made had its own unique feel and offered different attractions to enjoy. For example, Kilkenny was home to several medieval structures including a castle, round tower, and cathedrals,…
Roaming Through Rural Ireland
Today was a gorgeous day to travel across the country of Ireland. We gathered in the Staycity lobby bright and early at 7:15am to head to the coach bus. We started our journey with a stop in Kilkenny where I had a great lunch and stopped in some shops. After that, we went and visited…
Rural vs. Urban Dublin
Just like in the United States, the way of life for those who reside in urban areas of Ireland is significantly different from those who call the more rural countryside of Ireland their home. When we visited Wicklow County this morning, some of these differences came to light. First, the rural region seemed a lot…
Friday, May 12th
We were joined this morning by Michael, an International Controller at DocuSign, at Trinity Business School to learn more about the company. He discussed some insights on what it is like to work with other cultures, the growth of DocuSign since its foundation twenty years ago, and struggles the company has had post-pandemic. When comparing…
DocuSign or Google??
Today was a really good day! This morning we started with a continuation of our Docklands walking tour with Dr. Kelly. It was a really interesting and engaging lecture, almost felt like a simple conversation about Dublin rather than a lecture. After Docklands, Dr. Kelly walked us to Trinity college where we had a site…
DocuSign x Google
Google and DocuSign are two companies that have different approaches to culture and multinational business. Google has a culture of innovation, openness, and transparency, while DocuSign has a more formal and structured culture that prioritizes accountability, responsibility, compliance, and security. Both companies operate globally and offer their services to businesses and consumers around the world,…

In the morning, we met up with a member of Docusign. He explained a bit about his journey to Docusign as well as specific information about the company. By comparing and contrasting companies like Google and Docusign we can learn a lot about business’s cultures and their approaches to multinational business. Google has an employee…
Google and Docusign: Both From the US, but Very Different
For our third company visit in a row, we visited Docusign, rather they visited us. Unfortunately, their building was under maintenance, which forced our speaker for today, Micheal Kelliher, to meet us in a room at Trinity College. I wish we were able to tour the building, since I wanted to compare it to Google’s…
Docusign at Trinity!
Today was another fun day. It consisted of my group’s site visit at Docusign. Although we were not able to see the offices of the company, we got to learn a lot about Docusign and the culture of the workplace at Trinity College. Looking at the site visits from this past week, I have noticed…
Docusign or Paper
Another day, another site tour! We started the morning back at the Docklands where Dr. Kelly continue his lecture about business in Dublin and the impacts of debts and his personal story. It was a nice full circle moment when host mom in the states gave him 10,000 euros for a down payment on a…
DocuSign vs. Google
This morning, we attended a visit with DocuSign where we listened to a presentation about the history and upbringing of the company. DocuSign is a technology company that provides a platform for electronic signature and digital transaction management. The company’s primary focus is on enabling businesses to sign, send, and manage legally binding agreements securely…
5/12/2023
Today we visited Trinity College to talk to a DocuSign employee. One similarity I see between DocuSign and Google is that they have a common goal of revenue and finding new innovative ways to generate this. The speaker today stressed that the company is very heavily influenced by trying to match pandemic numbers and percent…
Different Companies Different Careers
One thing that I have struggled with thinking about since I have been in college is what I want my career to look like. Obviously I have a focus on Business, specifically Finance, and I have always thought that I would enjoy a career in non-profit management, however when it comes to company culture I…
Google Vs Docusign

Even though we were unable to be onsite for the visit of their office, we were still able to learn about their history, the business, and their company culture. Docusign is a San Francisco based Saas company and…
