Pros

Very intelligent environment, smart people - exposure to current technologies.

Cons

Masketing hype exceeds reality - well chosen wording in postings belies that staff is treated as disposable units - no attempt to assist in re-gearing for existing positions.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. I’m sorry you left here with a negative impression of Sovos, but I’d like to take a few minutes to address your comments. I have to say I agree with your thoughts on Sovos being an intelligent environment with smart people. We work hard to ensure that we hire the best and brightest, and that our culture and values promote an environment where people of that caliber can thrive and grow. I also appreciate that you recognize our work to leverage current technologies. Thanks for the positive feedback on what you think we are doing well! I am sorry to hear that you feel the team is treated poorly. We invest a lot of time and energy in training, onboarding and educating all of our people. I’m disappointed that you didn’t perceive that to be the case, and we’d love to hear more about your experience directly so we can learn. We truly believe that our people are the most critical component in our success, though do actively look for culture fit and talent over experience because we’ve found it’s the best indicator of success. That being said though, we aim to strike the optimal balance between talented people early in their career and seasoned individuals who can guide and direct our teams by virtue of their experience. While we certainly don’t always operate with perfect balance, we are conscious of those imperfections in team makeup and strive to make adjustments where necessary. Again, I’m sorry to hear that your experience here at Sovos wasn’t what you thought it should be. I appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback, and wish you all the best in your next challenge. - Chris

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
