Pros

Good payment platform for mid-market companies

Cons

If you’re an experienced sales rep, avoid this company. They’ve gone through multiple structural changes over the last year, and another one appears to be coming soon. The PE firm already cleaned house across leadership and brought in a brand new executive team with little to no experience selling accounting software. The organization feels extremely disorganized. Expect heavy micromanagement through tools like Gong and Force Management training. AEs are treated more like glorified BDRs, while SEs control most of the sales cycle. Even getting deals approved internally is painful, with layers of unnecessary approvals slowing everything down. Hardly anyone on the net new logo team made quota last year, and this year appears to be trending the same way. Territories are divided using poor Salesforce data. Out of roughly 250 assigned accounts, maybe 30 actually fit the ICP. Training is practically nonexistent after they let go of most of the training staff, and marketing is ineffective. The one positive I’ll give Billtrust is that the product itself is solid. However, implementation costs can be absurd, sometimes costing more than the subscription fees themselves.

Pros

At Billtrust, I’ve found a truly energizing environment thanks to new leadership that’s both visionary and incredibly competent. The senior leadership team is among the best I’ve worked with, and I’m learning constantly from them. Being part of an AI-first organization, we’re at the forefront of AI integration, and that’s both exciting and a huge growth opportunity for me. The culture is filled with great people who are genuinely passionate about the product. Overall, this is a once-in-a-lifetime transformational opportunity, and even with the hard work, I’m thrilled to be building the future alongside top-tier professionals.

Cons

One challenge at Billtrust is the sheer number of priorities happening all at once, which creates a high workload. It’s not uncommon to have very early mornings and late nights. While I personally find the work meaningful and exciting, this pace might not be for everyone. Additionally, the company is ambitious and eager to move quickly, which means a constant drive to meet aggressive goals—something that may feel intense for some.
