Pros

Minneapolis local employees and leadership are excellent.

Cons

Executive leadership is tanking the company. Lots of layoffs, poor pay, no room for advancement, transitioning jobs overseas.

Thank you for your feedback and appreciate you recognizing our outstanding Minneapolis team. We completely agree – the talent and dedication of our employees is impressive. I feel fortunate to be part of such an exceptional group of people. The past year at Sovos has been one of great change mainly driven by our desire to improve performance across every area of the organization in the face of our ambitious new vision: to transform compliance into a force for growth. The changes we’ve brought forth have been overwhelmingly positive for our customers, we are a stronger global competitor in the market, and we’ve seen most financial metrics reflect that. However, we realize change is never easy for employees and sometimes they feel the burden of those changes most. But let me be very clear in saying there is no measure that would substantiate your belief we are tanking the company. We also realize we are in challenging economic times where rising costs have made it increasingly difficult for employees to afford every day life. The same is true for Sovos. The rising wages and demands for higher pay have forced us to look at alternative staffing measures to ensure we can continue to bring in the right level of talent in a fiscally responsible manner. We have been shifting jobs outside of the US for many years, partly due to the fact roughly a third of our business is outside of the US. But we’ve also made that movement to keep our internal costs in line in an economy where many companies are just passing along all increased costs to customers. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you all the best as you to continue your career journey elsewhere. - Gregg Spratto, Chief Operating 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
