Pros

Great entry and mid level people. Some senior leaders are great too, but they’re all being “quiet fired”

Cons

Leadership says one thing and does another. They promised “hybrid” schedules will never change in an all company meeting, then less than a month later they start requiring everyone in office. No one can articulate the company’s vision and mission. Goals seem to be darts at a dart board. They praise teams publicly then make administrative changes that say the exact opposite. A lot of the changes lately seem aimed at saving face after a major public announcement of a series d 108m funding and then having to lower targets and reduce headcount. It’s like there is more urgency to protect equity ownership at the top through quiet firing than the ensuring the collective good for all.

First off, I want to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We believe Filevine is a special place where our people have an opportunity to excel and it's upsetting to hear that your experience did not match up to those expectations. We are on a path of transformation and that is driving changes and therefore, some turnover across the organization. We are increasing our focus on strengthening leadership communication through transparent conversations during Filevine First Friday and throughout the month so that all team members can continue to feel empowered to do their best work. - Filevine People Team

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
