Pros

- The people here are phenomenal. They seem to hire really well for the most part. - the SDR managers are all really great! They take the time out to let you know they care about you and your personal growth. If you have been in sales before, you know it’s very important to have great managers and (as of today) the four SDR managers in place right now will definitely take your performance to the next level! - definitely going to miss everyone who I’m leaving, especially the managers

Cons

With the company growing so fast there are so many things that I can list here. But go look at the reviews of any fast growing startup company and you’ll see the same things: sloppy data, a little unorganized, lacks XYZ. Lots of things that Filevine, along with any other fast growing startup, can improve on. And believe me, I can really expound on these things if I wanted to. But the managers all know what needs to be improved and they are actually working really hard to make things better one step at a time and they are doing a dang good job at it so far. *the new managers NOT the old managers, the old set of managers kinda sucked** It really does suck to see people leave because every person who leaves is another great friend with great potential. But most people leave due to broken promises the old set of managers promised them when hired. The new managers are more upfront with promotion timelines.

Pros

Good people on the team and the ability to earn money quickly

Cons

The culture felt extremely toxic, with leadership often creating an environment driven by fear, favoritism, and constant pressure rather than support and development. Leadership and executives are in it only for themselves. Work-life balance was virtually nonexistent. Employees were regularly expected to work holidays, often staying until 10 or 11 PM with little appreciation or recognition for the sacrifice. Long hours became the expectation rather than the exception. I was also disappointed by how customers were treated. There was often a significant disconnect between what was promised and what was actually delivered, and many decisions seemed focused on short-term gains instead of creating a positive customer experience. Behind the scenes, there were practices and conversations that made me uncomfortable and did not align with the level of transparency and professionalism I would expect from a company. The turnover was high, morale was low, and many employees seemed burned out. While there are some good people working there, the overall environment made it difficult to feel valued or optimistic about the future.
