Pros

After reading the reviews on Glassdoor, I declined to return the recruiter's emails. A friend who had worked for a Vista owned company talked me into talking to the recruiter. She said that Vista often comes in and changes things and people understandably get upset. I'm glad I went through the interviews and now I work at Taxware. The company does a great job of on-boarding and training, with continuous training available so all employees are exposed to best practices and concepts. Teamwork and (for real) positive atmosphere - everyone wants to make the company better and are willing to work together to make it happen. Good cooperation across different groups. Work life balance is good (surprising for the size of the company).

Cons

The company was pulled out of ADP and is basically starting with very few tools and assets. Groups are trying to improve the product and build sales tools at the same time they are trying to improve customer satisfaction. There is a lot of 'challenges' left over from ADP or just after ADP days. But as I said above, everyone is in it together.

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
