Thanks for your feedback. I hope our office is clean and quiet, especially now – it’s been 11 months since we made the transition to remote work due to COVID. But since I was hired during the pandemic – I’ve never physically seen the Boston office. But it seems your relationship with management is what really formed your opinion of Sovos, and I’m sorry that it isn’t a great one. We hold our leaders to a high standard, measuring them against a set of competencies that align with Sovos’ core values. If someone was falling short, especially in a way that came across as rude, I wish you had brought it to someone’s attention while you were here. It does sound, though, that one of the things that you didn’t love about our managers is something that a good number of our employees really value – and that is autonomy. We give our employees a lot of training and access to the tools, resources and people they need to be successful, and then we let them do their jobs. There isn’t a lot of micromanagement at Sovos – and that is something most people love. But we know not everyone thrives in this type of environment – and that’s OK. We aren’t the best fit for everyone, and it sounds like we weren’t the best place for you. We do wish you the best of luck finding that place – and we are appreciative of the time that you did spend here. Terry Melnik, General Manager, SUT

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
