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

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.
