Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We do have a challenging and fast-paced environment at Sovos. We are a company that deals with rapid change both from a technology and regulations standpoint, and are the first to take on the challenge to solve tax for good. Your comment about senior staff is perplexing and an unfortunate perception. As mentioned previously, we are an organization that changes quickly and as such job titles, teams, and managers may be shifted. We value our senior staff and the knowledge they bring. And we like to think they are not feeling disposable as you say since we saw an 11% to 13% increase year over year from our engagement survey from our more tenured employee base. And if by senior, you are referring to position seniority, we also saw a 5% to 8% increase as well. If this is your current feeling towards us I’d encourage you to speak to me directly. I’d like to opportunity to get clarity on your points of view.

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
