Pros

Sovos is a business defined by operational and organizational concerns. If you love thinking about organizational efficiency, optimal roles & reporting structures, assimilation of new business units, and overall "corporate efficiency" then this is the place for you. If, on the other hand, you really want to focus on Product, Technology, Innovation, Architecture, and Creative pursuits first and foremost, then you will find it challenging to thrive here.

Cons

The energy here is not on "what" to do but on "how" to do it. That is, "how do we best organize to execute an idea" rather than "what in fact is the best idea to go pursue?" This is NOT a knock on the Sovos business or strategy. For Sovos, operational efficiency is the best way for them to deliver great results in terms of revenue, growth and other key success. But if you are a Creative/Innovation type person more than a "Company" person, this constant focus on roles and organization can be a real drain on motivation, and your contributions will not be valued as highly as those who deliver organizational results (arguably, because innovation is less important to the business than efficiency.)

Thank you for sharing this, and welcome to the team! It's wonderful to hear that your recruiting experience set such a positive tone from the start. Cassie is a great example of the kind of Sovosians we are proud to have representing our culture, and knowing she made you feel informed and at ease throughout the process genuinely matters to us. We also love hearing that your first day onboarding helped you connect with our values and get a feel for what we do. That experience is something we work hard to get right, and your feedback confirms it's landing the way we intend. We're glad you're here, and we look forward to growing together.

Pros

Being Remote and standard benefits

Cons

Sales leadership is horrendous. New people are brought in not trained, aggressive targets (that have never been hit) usually designed to be the escape goats to protect the old guard. Long tenured sales protects the existing power structures. When results slip, they blame newer reps. New hires don’t hit, quotas unrealistic, weak implementation. Nightmare of a company, the worst I have ever worked at.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. Feedback matters, even when we see things differently. Quota-setting and new hire ramp structures are areas we invest in seriously - they're because we want our sellers to win, not to set anyone up to fail. That's the culture we've built, and it's one I'm proud of. That said, I do hear that your experience hasn't matched that intent. If there are specific gaps in how you were onboarded or supported, I'd genuinely like to understand them so we can keep getting better. Please connect with HR or reach out to me directly. We're committed to building a team where every rep has a real shot at success! Alice Katwan, President of Revenue, Sovos
