Pros

The product itself is genuinely strong and solves real problems in the legal space. There are some incredibly talented people working here who truly care about doing good work. Compensation potential can be high if you land in the right spot.

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment filled with gossip, politics, and favoritism. Advancement often feels more about appearances and being in the right inner circle than about actual performance. High quotas combined with having to manage 60+ accounts make success feel unattainable for many reps. Leadership culture is dismissive and two-faced. Serious issues get brushed aside, and accountability is lacking. Customer frustration is common due to poor onboarding and reliance on external implementation partners that overcharge. AI sales are being pushed heavily, while many clients still aren’t fully implemented. Constant recruiter outreach is a major red flag, turnover is extremely high, and instead of fixing the culture, they just keep hiring to backfill. Women were historically overlooked for leadership roles, and while that has recently improved, progress feels reactive rather than genuine. Work-life balance is virtually nonexistent, and burnout is common. Leadership at the highest levels (CEO, CRO, etc.) appears to care primarily about revenue, even at the expense of long-term employees and loyal customers. Long-time clients often feel ignored while leadership prioritizes flashy six-figure AI deals. Turnover is high, a lot of talented employees leave because of the toxic culture.

Pros

Full remote, "people first" AI adoption, and cutting edge technology. One of the best technilogy orgs I have been a part of. Very innovation friendly- new ideas are welcomed! Generous time off and flexible working environment.

Cons

No bonuses, but the higher base pay makes up for it. There are growing pains where some people get overloaded, but management addresses those areas quickly.

Pros

The product is pretty good and I like the swag/merch

Cons

The BDR department has taken a downward spiral since I started at Filevine. The VP makes inappropriate comments and acts like he is better than everyone else. The director noticeably plays favorites, gives events to the same people even if we earn our spot and we often wonder what he does all day. The rest of the managers do the best they can working under those 2. The only manager who helped their team get to quota was recently kicked out, leaving a gap in the department and leaving the other managers to pick up the slack. Everyone is burned out and management doesnt seem to care, they just keep micromanaging and shoving higher and higher numbers down our throats we are never going to hit. We get punished if we ask for time off and don't bother calling in sick or you will have to show proof. If we dont do it their way then you will never get promoted and Im proof of that. There is ZERO flexibility even if you have appointments or outside things happening. It feels like a prison at times. Do yourself a favor and look for another way to get into Sales. I was told how great it was to work at Filevine and I have not seen that yet. No wonder everyone quits.
