Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. Business development is a role that can fall under either marketing or sales, and you’ll find it in different spots at different companies. We opt to have it within our marketing structure and view it as a critical connection between marketing and sales. For those business development representatives who go on to careers in marketing, it’s a foundation for understanding the needs of sales teams; for those who ultimately move to sales, it’s a chance to learn how marketing generates leads that ultimately get qualified for AEs. Our recruiting team aims to paint an accurate picture of every role we advertise and interview for, and we’re sorry if you didn’t get a clear understanding of this one. Hiring for business development is a priority at Sovos, as this is one of the largest contributors to internal promotions, and we’ll take your input back to our interview teams. Thanks again for your feedback. We wish you well in the next step in your career.

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
