Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I appreciate that you highlight responsibility as one of the positives of working here. Our mantra for the year is to Keep Our Promise – and so much of that revolves around the idea of responsibilities. I am proud of our development teams in Latin America who embrace responsibility and our core value, be accountable. Your feedback around bureaucracy and implementing changes does impact me, and is not something that is part of our company. In fact, we dedicated this entire year to focus on the statement, “my manager makes it easier to do my job” with the goal to remove obstacles and create more open dialogues between manager and employee. If you feel this is something that is not improving, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss together on how we can address. Virginia Costa - Managing Director, Latin America Development

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
