Pros

If you find the kind, curious people, they're great.

Cons

The CEO is absolutely unhinged. They're firing incredible people left and right when they challenge him. They offer horrible severance and are leaving people jobless. This did this to multiple people just days before Christmas.

Pros

- The company has some really cool and nice people working at it.

Cons

- Basically everything else. - They spout positive cultural rhetoric, but they don't follow through. - No real consideration for diversity, inclusion, balance, etc. - Leadership is not equipped to take the company through the next phase. - Poor morale overall. - They only care about sales. Every other department gets the short end of the stick.

Terrible leadership, and terrible product

Pros

If you buy in to the toxic process Filevine demands; which requires sacrifice of all work life balance, then okay opportunity to make money. They won't do structured layoffs because Ryan Anderson wants to save face. Instead, they are doing things like mandating in office work, outsourcing your job to 3rd parties, demotions, skipping people for promotions, etc. hoping that people will quit. So, i guess its a pro that you won't see a headline of Filevine layoffs even though they really are????

Cons

Sales are enormously highly pressured to force sell into firms who they know can't be successful. A large majority of their implementations blow up as the product can't support what the sales people are pressured to say it can do. Then implementation consultants get in trouble expected to somehow find a middle ground between the overpromising sales and the poor product functionality. So now, they are outsourcing implementations to 3rd parties so they can point the finger at an outside person for the failure of Filevine. I joke that i've actually been working at Workato for the last few years because i spend more time writing in Workato trying to give life to an otherwise dead product then in Filevine. Leadership is very poor. They strictly use fear based tactics to motivate. If you have any interest in work life balance boundaries, then they will say you aren't tough enough to be successful and you don't have what it takes. Benefits are terrible and expensive.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we are disappointed to hear that it was not a pleasant one here at Filevine. We are on a path of transformation and that is driving changes and therefore, some turnover across the organization. The Sales department at any successful SaaS company comes with pressure but here at Filevine, we make sure we have Sales leaders in place to help decrease the stress and close deals with you. Even Ryan Anderson jumps on calls end-of-month to help close new clients. We are one team working cross-departmentally that is striving for the same thing, to give your clients the best legal tech platform. We appreciate you noting the benefits as well; we have heard from our employees and we have undergone establishing a new benefits plan and package that is rolling out now just in time for 2023. - Filevine People Team
