Pros

Do not believe the recent positive reviews, ask for proof

Cons

Leadership is unstable. Each reset arrives with a fresh promise of "big changes" and a coherent strategy that never materialises. What turns up instead is a reshuffled account list with no go-to-market plan, no marketing engine, and no demand generation behind it. Account executives are managed like BDRs, and quota attainment across the team is very low (5% or less). You are expected to self-source nearly all of your own pipeline, hit a high daily volume of calls and emails, and chase a "meaningful connects" target whose definition keeps changing. The guidance whipsaws between "more volume" and "be more personalised" and back again within weeks, with no consistent strategy underneath. Inbound is scarce, and the few leads that arrive are often unqualifiable. Micromanagement is relentless. Expect several mandatory forecast and call-review meetings every week, with feedback that fixates on trivial details rather than real coaching. Front-line management is the core problem. My manager had limited relevant experience, led by making demands rather than coaching, openly questioned my seniority, and expected results while providing nothing to achieve them with. Escalating above him changed nothing: in my entire time I never once spoke with anyone in the C-suite, which tells you plainly where leadership's attention sits. People who feel that unsupported leave, and several newer hires did within months. Selling is hard for reasons outside your control. The platform was assembled through acquisitions and shows clear gaps on larger, more complex deals. Implementation is heavy and far more expensive than the alternatives, and capabilities are routinely oversold to prospects. Real earning upside is rare. Do not believe what the recruiters tell you.

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.
