Pros

Managers listen to every employees suggestions and concerns, lots of opportunity for advancement, fantastic health benefits, unlimited PTO, managers reward hard work and don’t limit you based on your position. My favorite thing about Filevine is that if you see something you could help improve, no one is going to tell you it’s not your place. I feel that I have the freedom and opportunity to make impactful decisions and I feel respected and valued by my managers and the leadership of the company.

Cons

Things can be disorganized at times, but the company is still a start up and is actively working to fix that. Sometimes you have to jump through some hoops to get to the information you need or to work with other departments. I believe this is due to everyone taking pride in their work, so it’s not done with bad intentions.

Pros

Everyone works so hard and is so passionate about the product. It's got a flexible and youthful feel to the company. You can work from home if you need to every so often. Everyone (almost) is willing to help each other. I really appreciated the company's approach to the Covid19 situation. They have had most people work from home and have been flexible with our schedules since many have kids to look after during this difficult period. They also made it a point to try and not lay anyone off because of COVID19. The company feels human (most of the time). The benefits have gotten better. Also very well paid. There's constant opportunities for growth. It's also a great industry to be in nowadays.

Cons

It's still a young company, so it often feels like the Wild West. Management is for the most part okay, but I had an inexperienced and overworked Team Lead at first who didn't have the time to understand my work load. They encouraged people to ask for help, but when I did, I got ultimatums instead. It's gotten a bit better since and they're trying to hire more people since everyone is overburdened. They "discourage" people from working overtime and on the weekends for the most part, but woe to people who can't get their work done during an expected timeframe even if they do work overtime. Also it seems like the only people who move up are the ones who do work overtime and on weekends. And then if you do move up, it seems like you have to work even more so I'm not sure if I even want to. It's a little two-faced and frustrating. It's also discouraging to see people getting laid-off for "not being good fits" every couple of weeks (and a lot of those people were scouted and seemed to be super hard workers to begin with). Makes you wonder if you'll be next. Benefits are good. Just missing the 401k matching. I also was told when I was hired that I could work in whatever office I wanted (I chose Provo since I live down south), but now they're making the whole department move up to the Sugarhouse office when this covid stuff is over. They said we might be able to work 2 days from home a week, but even with that, it will still be over 6 hours on the road a week. Not excited. Doesn't feel like management is open to new ways of doing things either. Takes much arguing/begging to get anywhere.

Pros

-Filevine is full of people who are hungry to be successful and to help others succeed, both within the company and with customers. I really believe that we all try to put customers at the forefront of our actions. -I’m always impressed by how involved our CEO Ryan is with customers and his willingness to be doing the work right alongside us. I’d expect a CEO to be more big picture, less present, and less in the weeds, but he’s right there with us and I think that’s impressive and speaks to the kind of leadership at Filevine. -Compensation is pretty good. Benefits have improved so that’s cool. -Thursday lunches. It’s cool to have time set aside for us to eat and get to know each other or take a break. -Working for Filevine has really changed my overall happiness. I like what I do and who I do it with. You really can’t ask for much more.

Cons

-401k matching- you can sign up for a 401K plan, but Filevine has no matching program. I hope that is on the horizon as the company continues to get bigger. -Training. There needs to be more. The training video on your first day really only scratches the surface. -Employee relationships: it’s kind of hard to get to know people on other teams, with the exception of during Thursday lunches. It would be great if there were more chances to get to know each other.
