Pros

Growing company (organic and through takeovers), so that created a lot of opportunities for advancement

Cons

Employee churn was always high. People would disappear and no one would discuss it. High school type of atmosphere, odd for an office environment

Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that you were able to see the opportunity for advancement here at Sovos. The company has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years and that has allowed us to offer opportunities to our employees that enable them to develop their careers in new and exciting ways. Often that means that they grow within Sovos, but sometimes it means that they use the skills they develop here and bring their talents elsewhere. We hate to see our great employees leave us, but we are proud that we gave them a skillset that is transferable and that they are able to grow professionally. Despite the perception you may have had – employee turnover is actually the lowest that it has ever been here! We are the first to admit that communication can be difficult and we aren’t always perfect at it, which is why improving effective communication was one of our strategic goals for FY18. We saw significant improvement in employee satisfaction related to that and we will continue to work on it. And finally, we want to address your comment about our atmosphere. We strive to be a community of professional and collaborative individuals rowing together – and that, overwhelmingly, is the feedback that we get from employees both past and present. Over and over we hear how awesome the people are that work here and how much people value our culture. We are sorry that you saw the differently. We want to thank you for the time that you spent with Sovos and we wish you luck in the future.

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
