Pros

Free soda/snacks in office, gym on first floor. Good experience with other staff here, both personality + expertise. They sometimes do events for employees here.

Cons

I was let go with no warning after my first week, and they refused to even offer me any type of feedback whatsoever about it. I was still getting set up on their network = never given a chance to demonstrate my skill-set, and I did not violate any company policies either, therefore I am at a loss to explain why. I was not given a notice period either; Friday morning I was escorted to a meeting room and the conversation was pretty much "you're fired, effective immediately, here's your last paycheck, we called a taxi to take you home in 30 minutes". I appealed to a VP about it, and received a standard boilerplate response that failed to address my concerns.

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
