Pros

You can throw the experience on your resume to land a better job.

Cons

- Pay is WAY below market average. - Nepotism is prevalent within the Atlanta branch. - Little to no room for career advancement, unless you are family. - Hard work does not get rewarded or recognized. - Incompetent mid-level management. - Company didn't care about customers; customers seemingly hated the company as a result.

We appreciate you taking the time to write this review and share your views of Sovos. We have created an environment where everyone has an equal chance to make an impact, where we give people the support and resources they need to grow and where everyone is rewarded for their contribution. So, we take feedback like yours very seriously. As a result, we’ve analyzed exit interview data, and we identified themes that need to be addressed. In particular, we are reviewing and improving several practice and structural items in the Atlanta office and are confident that any changes made will benefit the employees and our clients. In addition, I’d like to take a little time to address your comments one-by-one: • We care deeply about our clients, and while our customer satisfaction metrics are generally very good, we are continuing to make big investments on expanding our coverage in every region in which our clients operate and making further improvements to how we handle implementation support, technical support and customer success. • Personal and professional growth is one of our core values. We are very sorry that you did not feel you had professional growth conversations with your manager, we are actively addressing this with a new structure for the team you referenced. • At Sovos we strive to provide value to all of our employees, not only with salary but by other means such as health benefits, flexible time off, education reimbursement, and our wellness program geared towards enhancing employees overall well-being. • Nepotism hs no place in the Sovos culture -- and is in direct conflict with our core values. I can assure you we take your comments seriously, and are actively addressing them. • Lastly, recognition of hard work is something we value and focus on at all levels of the organization, including through a structured quarterly program. We received more than 75 employee recognition nominations last quarter for great work across the company. However, we know it is important to hear that from your manager and will work to ensure Sovos managers find ways to consistently recognize their people. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you well in your next role.

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
