Pros

Lots of free morale-boosting pizza.

Cons

Boring products, not the sharpest employees.

Your review might be short, but I take it very seriously as it calls out the two areas of the company that we are most proud of – our products and, more importantly, our people. Tax compliance may not be the most exciting dinner conversation– but our products are far from boring. In fact, Sovos was recently recognized as a Leader in the inaugural “IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Sales Tax and VAT Automation Applications 2019 Vendor Assessment.” We were specifically called out for our sophisticated cloud tax software, the world’s first complete solution for modern tax. And more importantly, I completely disagree with you about the caliber of employee we have working here. Without even going into detail about how extensively we screen our candidates to ensure that they are a talent fit (and we do) all you have to do is scroll through comments on Glassdoor. What you will see over and over again are comments about the high quality of our people and the positive experiences people have had working with them. Your perception is far from the norm and I am sorry we lost your engagement somewhere. We understand and openly acknowledge that Sovos work environment is not for everyone. But one of our company goals is to create a workplace where career-minded individuals can come together to take on challenges and grow and develop themselves while making an impact on the organization. We will continue to remain committed to this and we wish you luck in your new 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
