Pros

Overall great opportunity to learn; flexible remote work is a plus; snacks and sometimes lunches provided which is nice. Good first job if you need experience.

Cons

Too many management cliques; brown nosers; separation of depts; no cohesiveness. A few toxic people known to have record of sabotaging other employees, seem to be rewarded while other hard workers get booted or ignored. Sad. Not a happy place— too many under paid,taken advantage of people. Many overqualified for pay and responsibility they’re given.

I just visited all our global offices over the last 2 months. While there, I spent time with 1000+ employees. The reality is Sovos employees are richly diverse and passionate about out organization and our mission. We have an audacious goal – To Solve Tax For Good. In order to achieve our goal, we need as many talented, engaged and motivated employees as possible, so we can’t afford to overlook top performers. And we have a long history of giving people challenging opportunities regardless of arbitrary criteria like direct experience or “qualifications.” The reality of having such a deep, talented and diverse workforce is when opportunities for advancement arise (as they do often), there are several highly qualified individuals who can step into those roles. It can be competitive, and we make tough choices – choices based on a rigorous, merit-based process designed to specifically eliminate favoritism. There is no place for sabotage here – it flies in the face of our Core Values. Folks who have that sort of attitude are not rewarded. Teamwork, diversity and camaraderie are building blocks of our Be Collaborative core value. We know we can’t hit our lofty goals if we don’t Row Together, and we will continue to build on our solid collaborative foundation. Based on your comments, your time with Sovos did not work out. For that, I’m empathetic but glad to hear you left to find a better fit. Employees at Sovos take away a unique set of experiences, which serve them well in their career. We wish you only the best in the future.

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
