Pros

The work environment is good, and there's a genuine focus on training managers in various areas, as well as a significant commitment to data security, cybersecurity, and work/life balance.

Cons

The strategy is quite confusing, always changing. The board is too far from the employees. The salary revisions always have a super tight budget, so no decent raises..

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you appreciate our work environment, commitment to training, and focus on data security and work/life balance. These are core values for us, and it's encouraging to know they resonate with you. We understand that our strategy can sometimes feel confusing and may change frequently. We're committed to improving our communication to ensure everyone feels informed and aligned with our goals. To help resolve this issue, we are currently working with our employee engagement groups to gather feedback and initiate plans to improve internal communication efforts. Our most recent All Company meeting dives into these details and what actions will need to be taken. Your perspective is invaluable, and we will work to bridge the gap between the board and our employees. Regarding salary revisions, we recognize that this is a critical area for many of our team members. We strive to balance our budgetary constraints with the need to offer competitive compensation. There are global teams working on how we can improve pay transparency by department and enhancing our benefits. Your input will help us refine our approach in this area, so please reach out with any suggestions. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We are always looking for ways to enhance our workplace and appreciate your continued contributions. - ​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
