Pros

It was great working with a product that is making a difference within the industry it sells to. Many of the people are great to work with. Their core product for traditional law firms is really really good, and they put a ton of resources into developing that product.

Cons

Filevine will likely hit their annual goals every year, but only after they burn out the vast majority of their staff getting there. Hustle culture and unrealistic expectations run rampant. The common theme at Filevine is that 100% effort isn’t good enough, and their CEO has doubled down on that culture multiple times. Quotas are built to eliminate any real balance in the lives of their staff. Favoritism keeps just a few on a pedestal at the top, and a steady revolving door of attrition below it. New product integrations are slow, even with $Millions of pipeline just sitting at times. Often, new product offerings are rolled out before they have a basic understanding of market limitations. I’m also not sure that the Marketing teams fully understand each vertical they’re selling into. Many times I have been left wondering if they even know what an optimal channel mix should look like.

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.
