Pros

Filevine has a really cool idea that really can help the extremely limited target market they have. The people that make up Filevine really are top-notch. I still look back at the relationships I made, and still have, and miss that aspect. Admittedly, the Sugar House office is pretty legit. Kind of a weird location though. Probably the best part of Filevine is Raj at 7-11 nextdoor.

Cons

Where to begin. Along with what has been said in other reviews, Filevine does NOT care about the health or wellbeing of its employees. Pandemic, the death of a loved one, sickness, marriage, honeymoon, having a baby, is not important. They want your butt in a seat in the office. Filevine does a GREAT job at indoctrinating its employees to think "if it's good for Filevine, it's good for me". You then are thrown around like a ragdoll to the whims of what management wants. All the while you are reciting over and over in your head whilst simultaneously slowly dying inside "if it's good for Filevine, it's good for me". Cult-like mentality. Employees are disposable. Filevine underpays for the amount of work they expect. They will literally work you day and night and expect you to be happy with a salary that is roughly 30% lower than what the next company will pay you. They try to hype up their culture of work-life balance but that's a farce. Don't expect any real training or onboarding. Don't expect a ramp if you are in sales. Just don't go in with any expectations really. Ryan (CEO) always talks about how the "culture" is rough and gritty and how we work hard and we don't need a fancy building or whatever. On multiple occasions, he has said "We could go to Lehi and build a brand new building with all the cool things and perks and stuff, but we aren't like that..." (We aren't?!?! maybe you arent....I would be all about a building a Lehi). I think it's just because he's cheap and doesn't want to pay for that for his employees. He will however build a fancy office that is close to HIS home. They fill your ears with empty promises. Whether it's promotions, growth of the company, money, they will string you along and keep telling you that you're "on their radar". They might even tell you "as far as I am concerned, this position is yours" then the next time you go into the office someone else actually was given the position. It seems like all the company cares about is sales. Meanwhile, other departments like data migration, implementation, business development are all lagging so far behind. Filevine looks great on the outside, but inside there are serious flaws. Like buying a brand new Mercedez only to find out they swapped the engine out for that of a 1994 Geo Metro, there are no seats, and there is only half a steering wheel.

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.
