Pros

Working for Sovos comes with some perks. You can show up and leave at any time of the day, wearing shorts and flip flops, and do little to no work while still collecting a pay check. Another option is not showing up for work at all and facing no repercussions. It is a low stress environment where deadlines mean nothing and people are not held accountable for their actions. In all honesty, people are rewarded for these qualities.

Cons

Low pay, poor departmental structure, ineffective hierarchy, unprofessional, and a complete lack of accountability are just a few. During the interview process, the position I applied for and received was described to me in a completely different manner than what I was actually expected to do once I was hired. I was received little to no effective training. Colleagues frequently did not show up for work, so asking questions was near impossible. When I did ask questions I was essentially ignored and told to figure it out on my own. There is a complete lack of communication between team members because people are unable to engage in any type of professional conversation. One person will tell you that your work looks great and then tell everyone else you are behind the learning curve. The turnover rate is so high that projects and assignments are constantly being handed off so there is no continuity. Therefore important changes and deadlines are frequently missed.

We appreciate your feedback, and we’d very much would like to discuss further with you one-on-one. It sounds like you are having a disappointing experience here at Sovos, and one that is not typical for our company. We hope we can help you with that. We make it a point to ensure every member of our team embodies our company core values of: Be Professional, Be Accountable, Be Proactive, Be Collaborative, and Be Adaptable. In terms of our environment, we are a modern software company and we strive to provide our employees with as much work / life balance as possible by focusing on results first. This may include flexible office hours, and less strict dress coding attire. Though, we certainly expect professionalism. Most people appreciate the flexibility as it allows them to focus on their work and driving results, but your experience doesn’t seem to match your expectations. We have an exciting opportunity at Sovos, and we want every employee to feel supported and challenged as we work to lead this market. You don’t seem to feel that way. And, we’d encourage you to speak with your manager, another leader or anyone on the HR team. If you have ideas or suggestions you would like to share on ways we can improve, we’d love to hear them.

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
