Pros

It's interesting how constant turnover becomes an 'adventure' here. It's almost amusing how often people end up in roles they're hardly prepared for, and yet, somehow find themselves climbing the ladder.

Cons

My team is delightful, yet we get stuck in constant internal politics company-wide. We also face lower pay compared to our competitors, which is disheartening. Our new CEO excels in cost-cutting but seems to lack strategic vision, which is stressful on the team. There's a real need for deeper investment in customer support and product innovation,

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I am happy to hear your team is delightful, although certainly not surprised! Our people are the best part of Sovos. I do want to address your concerns. I agree a well thought out strategy is key. I want to challenge your feedback there is no current vision. KA talks openly about not only where we are going and how we will get there in our frequent all company Sovos Connection meetings. These are unique opportunities to hear from our CEO firsthand the details of our strategy and vision and the status of our current objectives. We’re currently changing the way we go to market and undergoing a lot of transformation. If you haven’t had the chance to catch these recent meetings they are recorded and still available on our intranet. If you have been able to attend but feel we’re not communicating this strategy and vision clearly, I’d love the opportunity to speak with you directly to discuss your feedback in more depth so we can ensure our communication channels are clear and impactful. It’s going to take each one of our delightful team members to ensure we successfully carry out this transformation and I really want to ensure every Sovosian has the chance to be heard and be involved in this journey. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us.

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
