Pros

The relationships I built at Filevine are ones that I’ll have for years to come. Phenomenal people work here. Whitney on the BDR management side is the best manager I’ve ever had. She is kind, loving, understanding and hardworking. She can take someone like me with very little sales experience and get almost anyone to quota. The org would be lost without her. Brandon is a phenomenal director. He is understanding and motivating and always in the trenches with the team. He leads by example and trains everyone to be better every day. Josh is a hardworking VP. He is hard on the team only because of the potential he sees. He is funny and motivating to work with.

Cons

Sales is always punished based on AE performance and marketing. There’s always some reason we aren’t “doing enough”. This presents a culture of burnout and PIP firings. If you don’t work yourself to death or get promoted fast enough to go to events you are going to be on the chopping block before you know it.

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.
