Pros

Used to be a great company. Great people in day to day roles.

Cons

Unless you’re one of the individuals who have been there 20+ years you’ll never truly be one of their own. They have brought in a CRO and now the company will probably be sold and it shows. Unattainable OTE’s, reduced pay, people managed, VP is its own story. Toxic with many people discussing next steps. Culture of the company has changed and many people have left or now turning their heads.

Thank you for sharing this, and for the candor even as a current employee. The addition of our Chief Revenue Officer reflects our continued investment in go-to-market growth, not a transition away from independence. We remain focused on building iManage for the long term. That said, we hear the broader concerns about culture, compensation, and leadership. It is worth noting that iManage is in a period of meaningful growth; expanding our platform, growing our customer base, and scaling the teams to meet increasing demands in the legal tech market. The feedback about long-tenured insiders and a lack of belonging for newer employees is something leadership needs to take seriously. A strong culture has to grow with the company and remain inclusive of the people building it today, not just those who have been here the longest. We encourage you to raise these concerns through internal channels, whether that is People Operations or direct leadership conversations. Feedback like this is most actionable when it can be addressed in real time.

Thank you for the energy you brought as part of our engineering team in Chicago during your internship. We are glad the experience felt valuable and that you had strong support around you. Complex codebases and a steep ramp are honest realities of working in enterprise legal technology, and we think that challenge is part of what makes the experience meaningful. We hear the note on full-time conversion, and it is feedback we take seriously as we think about how to grow our intern program. We wish you the best and hope to cross paths again!

Pros

- Solid opportunities to work with a modern tech stack, including lots of cloud-based tools and enterprise SaaS platforms. - Collaborative teams and mostly supportive coworkers make day-to-day work enjoyable. Most teams are not super large. Average size probably being around 20-30 members. - Good work-life balance. Consistent 8 hour days. Overtime projects were not common. My experience with the company culture was that it was reasonably chill and not overly stuffy.

Cons

- Career growth and advancement can depend heavily on team or manager. They did put a ton of work into creating a career advancement framework with supposedly clearly defined markers. But ZERO of the managers I had ever referenced, followed, or implemented actions from it. Even when I made it a point to bring it up during my employee reviews. - At the time of this review they have implemented mandatory return to office and physical presence required for all employees (within distance). - Occasional silos between departments can impact efficiency and communication. Specifically People Operations (that's what the call HR). Processes involving People Ops such as onboarding, policy clarification, or internal requests are often not clear or even followed. - They love to put the letters "iM" in front of all the internal programs and branding. EG. "iMAway" for PTO time or to mean you are on vacation. I don't know, it's kinda cute at times. But can also be cringe sometimes.

Thank you for this thoughtful and detailed review. The feedback on iThrive is the most important thing here, and we hear it. Building a career progression framework only matters if managers are actually using it in practice. If that gap existed in your experience, that is a real problem, and it is something leadership needs to audit. On your People Ops comment, we are actively working to improve clarity and consistency in processes like onboarding and internal requests. Cross-functional communication, particularly between ops functions and the broader org, is an area we give great attention. We appreciate the time you put into this, and we wish you well in what comes next.
