Pros

Not many that I can think of...... It's a case of avoid at all costs Def the worst job I've ever had

Cons

How about actually live by the culture that is merely mentioned and not in any way implemented

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I’m disappointed to hear about your experience, I’d like to take this opportunity to address your concerns. At Sovos, culture is at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just a set of values we talk about—it’s something we actively work to bring to life every day. Building and sustaining a strong culture takes ongoing effort, and we’re committed to making sure that every employee feels the positive impact of it. While there is always work to be done, we’re proud that our most recent engagement survey showed that 84% of our employees feel they can be their authentic selves at work. I’m also disheartened to hear that you feel we’re unable to attract top talent. Sovos continues to bring on some of the most talented individuals in the industry. Over the past year, we’ve welcomed many incredible professionals who share our vision and values, and they’ve already made a meaningful impact. That said, we know a strong culture is key to retaining and inspiring top talent, and we’re always listening and striving to improve. I encourage you to get involved. There are so many groups and initiatives at Sovos where employees can make their voices heard and help shape our culture. Whether through our Whole Living Committees or Elevate Employee Engagement groups, there are countless ways to make a meaningful impact. If you’d like to share additional feedback, my door is always open. 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
