Pros

Benefits, never bored, fast paced, open to ideas and feedback. No blame culture, solution driven. Gives back to the community. Coworkers are amazing. I really felt like they cared about individuals. Andy was an excellent CEO and leader of the company. I never got to meet the new one. They hire based on cultural fit than knowledge. Knowledge can be taught. I think this is so important.

Cons

Salary is not the current market rate. It's not super low, but lower than other places. The culture is what made that less important to me at the time. A handful of leaders should not be in a leadership role, every company has a few bad apples. Sovos' apples are more good than bad. A lot of turnover (there's always tons to do and processes to build, that's not for everyone.)

It’s great to hear that you had such a positive experience working at Sovos, and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your feedback paints the picture of an engaged work environment with an open-mindedness towards ideas, supportive colleagues, and strong community involvement. I wholeheartedly agree with you on those topics. But there were two comments that really stuck out to me, and those were the ones related to a no blame culture and hiring for talent vs. experience. We emphasize finding solutions rather than assigning blame, and I think that is a testament to our focus on problem-solving and personal growth. And prioritizing talent and a strong culture add in hiring can indeed lead to a more cohesive workplace. I understand your concerns as well. As important as a strong culture and sense of community is, competitive compensation is also crucial. We do continuously monitor the market to ensure that we are aligned. And while turnover can sometimes be a challenge, it is not uncommon in companies that are constantly evolving. Interestingly, we are currently experiencing the lowest turnover the company has ever had! I want to thank you for the time you spent with us, and wish you the best of luck as you continue your journey. Kevin Cunningham Chief Financial Officer

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
