One of the most consistent things we hear from team members is positive feedback about the people they work with and the culture they contribute to at Sovos. I’m sorry to hear that was not your experience. We stay open to criticism and embrace it as a tool for constant improvement. However, some of your points are out of alignment or unclear. For example, we’ve been fortunate as a software company, even amid the pandemic, to retain our employees. That’s not to say everyone who works at Sovos stays at Sovos forever. We hate to lose employees, but we champion their growth, whether it’s here or with their next opportunity. It sounds like you have a few other unique concerns – I wish you had brought those up before you left. While I have not heard your specific complaints about managers in any context, those types of accusations are ones we would take very seriously. My door is still open if you’d like to connect.

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
