Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback. I completely agree with your take on our industry – we are lucky to have a non-optional solution in a market in a moment of transformation. Now, it’s up to meet that moment! I also agree with your take on our amazing team, as do many of your colleagues. One of top pieces of feedback I hear is how much people love working with their Sovos team members. I do want to correct your comment on employee churn: while its inevitable that some team members will choose to move on from Sovos, our recent turnover rate has been the lowest in our history. I’m glad you mention culture, because Sovos has always had a strong company culture and maintaining and evolving that culture has been and remains, a priority for us. When people ask me to describe our culture, I tell them about our core values – Be Professional, Be Adaptable, Be Inclusive, Be Proactive, Be Collaborative, Be Accountable. We often refer to these values as “how we behave”, because “how we behave” is our culture. It is remarkable to see our core values in action every day across our vibrant and connected global team. Particularly as we go through a period of remarkable and impactful change at Sovos right now, as we make the transition from individual point solutions to the global industry-leading platform that our customers need. As we move into FY25, we are launching several new initiatives and working groups focused on specific employee feedback. I hope you sign up for one of them! Feel free to reach out to me or directly to the Office of CEO to learn more about what is to come in the new fiscal year and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. We truly appreciate your feedback as it is extremely helpful to continue to improve our company. Laura Handler Chief of Staff

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
