Pros

In theory, reasonable benefits: good insurance, annual bonus, open PTO. In practice, all of these things have gone downhill since PE takeover.

Cons

I have been with this company for multiple years, since we were private. In that time we have gone public and been purchased by private equity, and been through numerous changes in leadership. I'm currently on my third CEO and about to be on my fifth department head in my time at this company. Every change in leadership has caused this company to go downhill further. Multiple rounds of layoffs. Most new employees are no longer bonus eligible, PTO requests get scrutinized even though it's meant to be open PTO. Work is being outsourced to Asia. The new leadership is convinced that AI is what will fix this company, and anyone who disagrees with becoming a professional AI babysitter is going to be thrown overboard.

Pros

A lot of investment into systems/tools, enablement programs and definitely AI first. Culture is really good, people are high integrity and very committed to helping one another succeed.

Cons

Remote dynamic can be challenging. Business is fairly complex by nature and takes time to really learn/master

Pros

Good payment platform for mid-market companies

Cons

If you’re an experienced sales rep, avoid this company. They’ve gone through multiple structural changes over the last year, and another one appears to be coming soon. The PE firm already cleaned house across leadership and brought in a brand new executive team with little to no experience selling accounting software. The organization feels extremely disorganized. Expect heavy micromanagement through tools like Gong and Force Management training. AEs are treated more like glorified BDRs, while SEs control most of the sales cycle. Even getting deals approved internally is painful, with layers of unnecessary approvals slowing everything down. Hardly anyone on the net new logo team made quota last year, and this year appears to be trending the same way. Territories are divided using poor Salesforce data. Out of roughly 250 assigned accounts, maybe 30 actually fit the ICP. Training is practically nonexistent after they let go of most of the training staff, and marketing is ineffective. The one positive I’ll give Billtrust is that the product itself is solid. However, implementation costs can be absurd, sometimes costing more than the subscription fees themselves.
