Pros

Once upon a time from 2016-2017, there was great leadership in Billtrust Marketing, and the culture was top notch. Cut to today : complete 180 degree change, with no end in sight....

Cons

The Executive team fired that great leadership I mentioned, along with many other good people. Those of us left got zero strategic direction or leadership and then were blamed for the lack of results. Oh, and the nasty Director running the show in the meantime is a hazard to the company - no leadership AND no results. But evidently, top grade behind-smooching skills.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are committed to having an open and transparent culture. It’s unfortunate we did not have an opportunity to discuss your concerns while you were employed here. There have been some significant changes to the Marketing team this year, all designed to position us for success in 2019 and beyond. Change can often be difficult but also necessary at a company growing at the rate we are today. I want to assure you there was always a plan. One of our values state, "Fix the problem, not the blame." As a leadership team, we would never place blame on a single person, team, or department. Instead, taking accountability as one team and focusing on fixing issues to move towards accomplishing our goals is always our priority. - Steve Pinado, President

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.
