Pros

-Free snacks, coffee, and drinks in the kitchen

Cons

-High expectations right out of the gate, you must be as good or very near as good as your veteran coworkers in a short time or you will be fired -Many coworkers will make you feel like an outsider -Words of growth in this company are a little untrue, you will need to stay in your position for 12 months before trying to move anywhere else in the company -Software is extremely outdated and slow, seems the IT department is very underfunded for hardware -Technical issues are a norm, don't be surprised if you have trouble doing your job because vital software functions are down -Mostly negative reinforcement, you may hear more about how you can get fired than succeed -Don't get too friendly with anyone, as they can come in one day and be told they are finished -Pay is underwhelming considering all the stresses involved that keep morale at a constant low

Thank you for providing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your input. Regarding growth within the company, you are correct we do ask that our employees stay within their Department for 12 months, to ensure they have fully embraced and understood the role and technology we use. However, those interested in opportunities within the same department may be eligible as early as 6 months from beginning their employment. Our organization does have a certain level of expectation for all within our company because we believe in setting a strong standard that our clients and employees can be proud of. Again, we appreciate your feedback and will continue to make improvements to ensure a highly engaged and talented workforce.

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
