Pros

Filevine is up there with one of the best places I’ve ever worked. You get a lot of ‘swag’ for being an employee and a lot of free food. The people are great minus the higher ups. You aren’t treated like children, but adults

Cons

You constantly have a fear of being fired or laid off. Higher ups set ridiculous goals that are impossible to hit. And when they don’t hit others are blamed. Training is horrible, you don’t learn anything about the actual product and have to basically train yourself. Leadership and CEO are not nice people. Fake smiles for the meetings but won’t respond to a ‘hi’ in the hallways. Managers start giving you the cold shoulder randomly and soon enough you’re fired without any warning.

Pros

Filevine has a really cool idea that really can help the extremely limited target market they have. The people that make up Filevine really are top-notch. I still look back at the relationships I made, and still have, and miss that aspect. Admittedly, the Sugar House office is pretty legit. Kind of a weird location though. Probably the best part of Filevine is Raj at 7-11 nextdoor.

Cons

Where to begin. Along with what has been said in other reviews, Filevine does NOT care about the health or wellbeing of its employees. Pandemic, the death of a loved one, sickness, marriage, honeymoon, having a baby, is not important. They want your butt in a seat in the office. Filevine does a GREAT job at indoctrinating its employees to think "if it's good for Filevine, it's good for me". You then are thrown around like a ragdoll to the whims of what management wants. All the while you are reciting over and over in your head whilst simultaneously slowly dying inside "if it's good for Filevine, it's good for me". Cult-like mentality. Employees are disposable. Filevine underpays for the amount of work they expect. They will literally work you day and night and expect you to be happy with a salary that is roughly 30% lower than what the next company will pay you. They try to hype up their culture of work-life balance but that's a farce. Don't expect any real training or onboarding. Don't expect a ramp if you are in sales. Just don't go in with any expectations really. Ryan (CEO) always talks about how the "culture" is rough and gritty and how we work hard and we don't need a fancy building or whatever. On multiple occasions, he has said "We could go to Lehi and build a brand new building with all the cool things and perks and stuff, but we aren't like that..." (We aren't?!?! maybe you arent....I would be all about a building a Lehi). I think it's just because he's cheap and doesn't want to pay for that for his employees. He will however build a fancy office that is close to HIS home. They fill your ears with empty promises. Whether it's promotions, growth of the company, money, they will string you along and keep telling you that you're "on their radar". They might even tell you "as far as I am concerned, this position is yours" then the next time you go into the office someone else actually was given the position. It seems like all the company cares about is sales. Meanwhile, other departments like data migration, implementation, business development are all lagging so far behind. Filevine looks great on the outside, but inside there are serious flaws. Like buying a brand new Mercedez only to find out they swapped the engine out for that of a 1994 Geo Metro, there are no seats, and there is only half a steering wheel.

Pros

Co-workers. Filevine has had some of the best employees. People who were committed and really cared. People who worked hard and looked out for what was best for Filevine. People who would have worked hard until the end. Unfortunately Filevine doesn't value that kind of employee.

Cons

I worked at Filevine for 3 years. Filevine's biggest problem is Ryan. Ryan runs everything because he doesn't trust anyone else. Filevine switches from mass hiring to mass firing. I have see so much turn over in 3 years. If you get into a position with responsibility it will only be a matter of time until you are replaced. Current VP of Sales record is 3 Months. Nobody is safe. Filevine doesn't care about you or your family. Employees have been given a promotion one day and were fired the next. I was let go right after I hit the record for biggest month every for a mid-market account executive. Even great sales numbers don't mean you have a job. There were times that working at Filevine was awesome. I loved it. Unfortunately the bad far outweighs the good. Everything is promised and nothing is given. Their last mass firing was about a month ago. You can see all of the bad reviews. I wasn't even going to write a review but I don't think it's right to try and drown out the honest reviews with reviews from current employees who are asked to help cover things up. I recommend finding a job somewhere else. Work towards your own dream. Don't waste your time building Filevine's. They will kick you to the curb when they feel they have gotten your value.
