Pros

Free snacks and drinks, very nice atmosphere. The people are friendly and the company is booming with new business opportunities.

Cons

I was let go with no warning; they just sat me down and told me that my work was terrible and fired me on the spot. Up to that point, I had been told that my work was good. I had no idea that I was about to be fired and it still baffles me that things ended so abruptly. The benefits are laughable and the pay isn't enough to be financially independent; the insurance plan is only marginally better than paying out-of-pocket, and with the pay, if you get sick, you'll be struggling to keep up with your financial obligations. If you are looking for an out-of-school job and plan to move out, look elsewhere, because you will not be able to live on your own with a Sovos salary. The turn-over rate is also insane; while I was working there, I noticed that almost every day there would be an email telling us to remove at least one person from the system, which basically meant that almost every day, at least one person was being fired. It looks like most of the development is moving to Argentina, as well. It should also be noted that employees were expected to frequently stay late, sometimes sleeping in the office, as well as working on weekends with no extra pay. It seemed like at least one coworker was working on Saturday from home every weekend for at least an hour or two.

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
