Pros

Used to be the people and depends on group, if you have a good manager and they stay or aren't let go you will be lucky but this is rare. Unlimited time off but no one ever has the ability to actually use it regardless of what anyone tells you.

Cons

Seems like the company is in constant state of re orgs that don't make any sense and affect the entire organization in a negative way. The goal is to keep growing as fast as possible yet they do not take necessary steps to ensure the company and employees are able to keep up - workload is excessive for many groups. Sovos says they care about keeping good people, high performers, good managers but actions indicate the opposite. Best advice - find someone in your network that worked there before and talk to them before you decide to apply.

Let me be absolutely clear: there is nothing more important for Sovos right now than keeping talented, engaged and inspired employees in roles where they can stretch toward their own professional potential, as we all stretch toward our potential as an organization, together. Our ability to keep our promises to customers, to lead in dynamic markets, to enable the people who count on us to improve their way of life – it all depends on Sovos employees around the world. That's the bottom-line. After 5+ years with us, you’ve probably heard me say many times that our mission to Solve Tax for Good is audacious. We are at a particularly critical moment in pursuit of that goal, when we must acquire top technology and talent to meet our customers’ needs everywhere they do business. I believe this moment to be one of exceptional professional opportunity for our team. I also recognize what we are doing is not easy. We expect our team to feel busy and challenged. But no one should stay quiet if they feel overwhelmed. Leaders across the company are here to listen and to help. I appreciate your feedback. I will keep it in mind as we continue to invest in the people, products and practices to support strategic growth while engaging our primary competitive advantage: our people.

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
