Pros

the office is pretty nice, benefits are decent Chicago managers are great

Cons

The most micromanaged company I’ve ever worked for. The managers in Utah are single handedly pushing out every good rep this company had with their intense micro management. It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting quota, that’s not enough. They pick apart every single thing you do and there’s always someone hawking over your shoulder to make sure it’s done the exact way that they want. Overall, stay away from this company, I don’t know anyone who is actually enjoys working for Filevine. Nothing ever seems to be good enough for them, there’s constant stress and anxiety solely created by the Utah upper management. zero work life balance, regardless of what they try to tell you. Just stay away, trust me.

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.
