Pros

Most people have a good team spirit, which somehow keeps motivation.

Cons

The company is not investing in its people, with salary levels much below the competitive rate, especially in EMEA.

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we value your insights greatly. I agree that our teams are made up of motivated individuals who bring their best selves to work each day to serve our customers and our global business. Sovos has been, and continues to be, deeply committed to investing in our people. Over the past year, we have significantly increased our investments in global enablement and business training, including certification programs for recently launched products and comprehensive training toolkits for each function to help employees build new skills and advance in their roles. We have also reintroduced our mentoring program and enhanced our focus on inclusive leadership through initiatives such as manager debriefs and development sessions. Regarding compensation, we regularly evaluate our salaries to ensure they remain competitive within our markets, and we offer benefits packages tailored to the specific needs of each country. To further address employee feedback, we recently launched an engagement working group focused on compensation, where employees discussed their concerns and proposed specific actions. Our global employee base can expect to hear more about the implementation plans in the coming weeks. We remain committed to providing resources to support career growth, and we encourage employees to reach out to their local HR representative or direct manager to learn more. My door is always open as well — I am here to help. Colleen Schlagel Chief Talent Officer

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
