BILL paid $2.5B for Divvy, and now is breaking it.
Pros
Good pay and a stable company
Cons
I speak here as an employee who came to BILL from Divvy, and recognize that for many people the stable, process-oriented, top-down leadership culture at BILL might be exactly what they’re looking for. There are plenty of reviews on here that show that! I speak as someone who enjoys the startup world and recognize that. However, it has been incredibly difficult over this last year as I’ve watched my team at Divvy’s empowering and trusting upper management be replaced with leadership that can’t help but always hop into meetings and make long-winded speeches and underinformed decisions rather than trust us to be making the right decisions on the ground. And for company-wide changes, transparent, casual leadership at the top and open seeking of feedback at Divvy has now been replaced by surprise declarations steeped in corporate and legal speak. Leadership is the big con at BILL and you can’t ignore it - they make sure they’re in every meeting and slack channel and changing your day-to-day constantly. And their view of Divvy’s people spreads- you only need to skim through some of the reviews here to see that BILL as a whole doesn’t view Divvy as the talented group of innovators that it is. They’re seen as rebels that won’t fall in line with the new parent company. In public, this is never said. But everyone at Divvy can feel it, and it’s crushing the company.
