Pros

The opportunity to work remotely and that's about it.

Cons

I should have believed the negative reviews about Files.com and the CEO, Kevin Bombino, before I joined the company. Kevin micromanages every team in the company, and I've personally witnessed him yelling and cussing at employees publicly when things weren't done his way. His leadership team is afraid of him and if someone tries sticking up for themselves, they're terminated. It's a shame because the company could be something great, but it's absolutely hindered by Kevin. If you're considering joining the company, please reconsider. It's not worth sacrificing your mental health, trust me.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working here is the company’s commitment to maintaining and continuously improving its platform. The engineering team is highly responsive, consistently enhancing functionality, introducing new features, and resolving issues quickly to ensure a smooth experience for both employees and customers. The company also offers comprehensive benefits and decent PTO.

Cons

The biggest challenge I experienced was a lack of effective management and leadership support. Managers often appeared to have little authority to advocate for their teams or influence decisions that directly affected employees. It was common to hear that concerns were understood and even agreed with, but that nothing could be done because decisions had already been made at higher levels. Over time, this created an environment where employees felt unsupported and disconnected from the decision-making process. Leadership communication and organizational priorities often seemed to be driven by the preferences and mood of a single influential individual, whose presence extended across nearly every required communication channel. This made the work environment feel unpredictable and contributed to low morale. Ultimately, I chose to leave because I felt I lacked the guidance, advocacy, and leadership support needed to be successful and continue growing within the organization.
