Pros

40 hour work week, some nice people

Cons

Upper management wants people to feel as if any day could be their last... and it can. Frequent firings, layoffs, and people put on performance plans. Let people go weeks before they get vested. Owning company changes year to year, all about bottom line, all the time. Incompetence is overlooked, salaries are incredibly low.

Thank you for taking to time to share your feedback, and are disappointed to hear you feel this way about the Sovos culture. At Sovos, we strongly believe in our “Be Accountable” core value, which allows our employees to take ownership for results and improve organizational performance from anywhere in the company. While the majority of our team embraces this value, we do need to address employees whose performance is unsatisfactory. It’s unfortunate, but a reality of striving to build a workplace filled with talented, engaged, and inspired people. We appreciate your feedback and take this seriously, but are also pleased to report that we recently conducted our engagement survey, and 81% of our employees reported they feel appreciated and are proud to work at Sovos. Again, we want to thank you for your feedback. If you would like to discuss further or have ideas on how we can improve please don’t hesitate to contact your HR Associate.

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
