Pros

This company offers a lot of really great benefits and seems to take care of their employees from a non-working perspective. Everyone I've worked with has been very friendly and welcoming. They offer very flexible time off. While they have physical offices, my job has been 100% remote.

Cons

My company was acquired via acquisition. The first year plus seemed to be promising. My prior company was much smaller and Sovos being a bigger company felt like could be a great benefit but over a year later things have not really improved and seem to actually be trending in the opposite direction. Workload increases seem to be far outpacing pay increases. The pay itself while nothing impressive is sustainable but not for the amount of work they have us doing.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. Being a part of an acquired company is challenging. It’s almost certain that there will be some things that change. Many of those are for the better. You mention our flexible time off policy – that’s a good example. Others might include the chance to work in a global organization, or an immediate increase in the job opportunities available to you to grow your career. Some changes are more difficult. But I do want to challenge the idea that our decision making is done by people who are out of touch with the work being done on the ground. While I don’t know for sure which organization you were a part of prior to acquisition – I do know that the leadership teams of our compliance services organization have remained largely the same. That means that the leaders who were part of companies before they were acquired are still leaders at Sovos. They play a vital role in our decision-making processes – influencing employment decisions, merit increases, process improvements, etc. We do this because we know how important it is to retain people who do understand the complexities of the job. But while I might disagree with the root cause – I still understand and appreciate your feedback. It is hard to feel engaged when you don’t understand how decisions are being made and that is something that we can and will work on to make sure you and anyone else feeling similarly understand. My door is always open if you want to talk to me directly! Paul Banker, GM

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
