Pros

-Good people (the ones left) -Remote -Opportunity to implement ideas with little resistance if the idea appears beneficial.

Cons

-High executive turnover -Unclear mission (stated mission doesn’t align with actions of current ELT or previous ELT) -Breakneck change, to the point where you don’t know what position will be eliminated or what process will be flipped upside down.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re glad to hear you appreciated some of the positives of your time at Sovos, including the great people and the opportunity to implement ideas. We also appreciate the contributions you made while you were here. We know that change at Sovos has been fast-paced, and that can be challenging. The nature of global tax compliance is constantly evolving, and we’ve always had to adapt quickly to stay ahead of industry shifts and keep our customers compliant. While this pace of change can create uncertainty, it is also what allows us to remain a leader in our space. It is also what drives us to innovate and implement new ideas in a meaningful way. We also recognize that culture and investment in people are critical to our success. That’s why we recently refreshed our core values based on employee feedback, ensuring they reflect who we are today and where we’re headed. To foster ongoing transparency, our executive team continues to host open mic and feedback sessions, giving employees the opportunity to share their thoughts and help shape our future. We appreciate your time with Sovos and wish you the best in your next chapter. — David Woodworth, Chief Financial 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
