Pros

+ Coworkers are hands down the best part. Everyone is friendly, willing to answer questions, and always down for a game of ping pong. + Snacks, drinks, and the occasional beer or margarita cart. + While they're not a 'work from home' company, managers and supervisors are flexible when it comes from the occasional remote work day.

Cons

- Culture has dwindled drastically since I began. - Several executives and senior leadership have left since we became Sovos, which doesn't seem like a great sign of how things are going. - The CLOUD rotation program that they push is a great way for them to take advantage of an employee that is eager to learn a new aspect of the business by allowing them to take on the extra work of the department rather than hiring someone on full time, and ends with little retribution for the employee that completes the CLOUD rotation. - The SovosYOU "benefits" they preach are pretty unattainable. - Praise is highly placed on the sales teams, almost never on operations teams which generate a large percentage of recurring sales. - Hire inexperienced supervisors which in turn causes their direct reports to suffer. - Little to no upward movement for those on the operations side of the business. - The Minnetonka office space itself is in poor condition.

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
