Pros

Had some great teammates and first level management Swag

Cons

- Downgrading PTO - Downgrading medical insurance - Executives try to have team and culture building meetings and get to know you's only to undercut it and make everyone worried they will be laid off - Denying layoffs - Sales can't properly sell products and services with reasonable expectations to the customer so they subsidize everything with software licenses which makes them unprofitable and dependent on private equity and VC money - Layoffs for Christmas, tried to get everyone to go to partners, but more than half of people left the Filevine ecosystem so they are kneecapping themselves and their clients are going to suffer. The employees staying had their workload double or triple, so morale is terrible. - CEO sucks at business but is pretty good at selling kool aid and hype. Fake, goes against his church's values.

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.
