Filevine will likely hit their annual goals every year, but only after they burn out the vast majority of their staff getting there. Hustle culture and unrealistic expectations run rampant. The common theme at Filevine is that 100% effort isn’t good enough, and their CEO has doubled down on that culture multiple times. Quotas are built to eliminate any real balance in the lives of their staff. Favoritism keeps just a few on a pedestal at the top, and a steady revolving door of attrition below it. New product integrations are slow, even with $Millions of pipeline just sitting at times. Often, new product offerings are rolled out before they have a basic understanding of market limitations. I’m also not sure that the Marketing teams fully understand each vertical they’re selling into. Many times I have been left wondering if they even know what an optimal channel mix should look like.
