Pros

Solid product and decent tech stack when sold and managed correctly. Some of the mid-level colleagues are genuinely talented and hardworking people just trying to survive the day. You will learn a lot quickly—mostly because you’ll be doing the job of three people.

Cons

If you can pay your bills with slices of pizza, handfuls of peanut butter M & Ms, or a Filevine t-shirt, Filevine culture is for you! If you're hired, say hello to the slightly less cringy Salt Lake county sales bro culture (a minute upgrade to the infamous Utah County/Silicon Slopes version of sales bros). And while you are much less likely to be vocally judged by Mormon standards and less likely to hear Mormon lore woven into your day-to-day, those things are still present and form the foundation for so much of the 'culture' and the unspoken value placed on you as an employee. Sadly, the rising tide of success at Filevine doesn't raise all ships. If you do somehow find yourself in the room with the top ranks of leadership giving one another high-fives and regularly updating your Slack status to variations of 'LFG' or 'ABC', sleep with one eye open and be prepared to 'CYA'. Someone will be kicked off the island periodically and when you least expect it, it may be you. As for the ranks of Filevine underlings, hopefully you've negotiated a living wage that won't be rendered irrelevant when your territory is inexplicably snatched away or your targets are turned upside down. This Filevine 'family' ensures all members are subject to periodic doses of insecurity and anxiety.

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.
