Pros

Sovos is a great place for attorneys that don’t want to be on call 24/7. There is ample opportunity to practice legal research skills and develop subject matter expertise.

Cons

Not much traditional legal work to gain. Little to no legal writing experience . Little room for meaningful advancement. Low pay.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experience at Sovos. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the work-life balance and the opportunity to practice legal research skills and develop subject matter expertise. We also value your feedback on areas that may need improvement. Regarding the perception of limited traditional legal work and little legal writing experience, we want to clarify that the Regulatory Analysis & Design department is specifically focused on providing regulatory intelligence to power our suite of products. While it may differ from traditional legal roles, the emphasis is on substantive research and scrutiny of tax laws, contributing to high-quality tax analysis that gets reflected in our product. That is also something that we call out on both our job postings and during our interviews, because it is an important distinction. Career growth in this team has historically been well defined. As we continue to focus on leveling up our platform solution, we are actively working on revisiting this topic to ensure we are organized the right to enable the business today, and our team members have ample opportunities to advance their careers as we continue to achieve our aggressive growth targets. We regularly review compensation structures to ensure that we both fair and competitive in our market, and we will remain committed to this as we evolve. If you have any other specific feedback or ideas for improvement, I would be more than happy to set up time to meet 1:1 to discuss. My door is always open. Steve Sprague Chief Strategy & Product 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
