Pros

Not many. If you like not having much to and getting paid nothing to do it, this is your place.

Cons

Crazy low pay, no one knows what they’re doing and almost no benefits. Losing customers faster than they’re getting them.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback and are sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience while here at Sovos. We would like to take the time to address some of the points that you bring up. First, we recognize that salary is an extremely important component when choosing an employer - after all, it’s your livelihood. This is why we maintain a pulse check on market average. We benchmark our salaries against similar companies in similar geographies to ensure that our wages are fair and competitive. In addition to that, we provide regular opportunities for salary increases via promotions and merit increases. Thirty percent of our employees at Sovos experienced a promotion or job change in FY18. You also mention benefits. We realize that salary isn’t the only thing that employees value. That is why we choose to offer a Total Rewards program in which we pair salary with a number of other benefits that help to make our employees lives better. We offer health benefits with an employer matching HSA contribution, myTime flexible time off, paid maternity and leave programs, an employer matched 401k program, tuition reimbursement, development and wellness programs and many, many more. And we feel our employees appreciate that, which showed in a 14% increase in our latest engagement survey when asked about benefits compared to others in the industry. And you are right, we are not a startup company and our huge growth has shown that! But our culture is more reflective of one where our senior leaders are present, ideas are heard, and change is made. We’re sorry that you did not view it this way, or get a chance to experience some of the benefits offered. Again, we appreciate your feedback and wish you luck in your future career. - Joe Healey

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
