Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you left the organization feeling this way. I understand that compensation is important to our employees, and I can assure you that we constantly monitor both the local market and larger economic factors to ensure that our employees are compensated fairly. It is a process that does not stop. I do understand your frustration with meetings. I wish I could say that is a Sovos specific issues, but studies indicate that the number of meetings in all companies have increased substantially since the pandemic. Over the past year we have increased the number of meeting free days that we sponsor, for example. I do wish you provided some more insight into how you feel we have fallen short of being a good international company. With locations in over 16 countries and employees living in even more, we have worked hard to build an inclusive global organization where all of our employees are represented. I would have loved feedback on how we could improve, which we are always aiming to do. I wish you the best of luck as you continue your career. - Eric Lefebvre, CTO

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
