I was contacted by a rep in Sovos through Linkedin....He was friendly and we talked about my experience being a match for the position. I was invited to take a survey/ assessment to see where " do I fit better within the company. 4 Days later he replied" we have moved other candidates" It seems that my 15+ years of Software,hardware multi National and Enterprise sales experience is not welcomed at Sovos.

Half of a day wasted, with no thank you or acknowledgment. It started with an online application and then eventually, a couple of online assessments. If you do well in this round, then you get to take the intelligence exam again since they do not trust anyone they do not know. This time, through a Skype-like call with their VC monitoring you (one-way). You get a one-sided interview (you don't see him while he sees you), then he proctors your exam. If you are on a Mac, I wouldn't even bother. I experienced so many technical difficulties with their software during the call (screen size, timer was not visible, locking up between questions). Afterwards, they went silent. No "Thank You" for spending four+ hours on our exams and interviews, no "We went with another candidate," just silence. If a company does not have the common courtesy to at least acknowledge the time you placed into their mandatory half-day interview and screening process, then know that you were very fortunate that you did not get hired. I do extremely well on intelligence tests, but since their software sucked, I was unable to finish the exam and a sales candidate with a documented history of being in the top 5% went to a better company.
