Pluspunten

-International Company -Friendly collegues -Work from home

Minpunten

-The salary is extremely low. They pay barely above a living wage. Employees ask for adjustment to combat inflation and nothing. Lack of respect for high living expenses yet company is making huge money with execs having large pay. -Collegues leave often due to very little growth and pay which creates quite some issues for other junior collegues who have to pick up the work. This means more work, high churn and unhappy clients. -Work nights and weekends often with no pay and no TOIL, even if supposedly exists. Management does not understand that people are not happy. -Supervisors will do their best to not promote you or pay you more. Supervisors will micromanaging your time as they have their bosses to impress. Little respect. -They hire people in Turkey and Portugal as they can pay them much less. Company is very cheap. -HR did not respond to many emails. When they respond it is weeks or months later. -They do not pay for you to go into the share space since they say is optional. Forcing us to pay many euro to go to work together, even though they say they want colloboration. -Says they are inclusive but many execs are white men. Recent big execs are men, women voices are sometimes stopped.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I can tell that you have put a lot of thought into this. First, I am glad that you enjoy the people that you work with and the flexibility that you have. The people are the best part of our company. That is why I am so disappointed to read this. I understand how important compensation is to our employees. We do keep a close eye on our salaries, especially in the current inflationary environment. I can assure you that the managers and supervisors in this organization have no incentive to avoid promotions or pay increases, and we encourage both of those things for our employees who perform well. Traditionally, somewhere between a quarter and a third of our employees experience a promotion or job change each year, which is wholly separate from those who receive performance based merit increases. Our services teams, in particular, have a very well defined career path that allows for quick progression through the organization which can result in salaries rising quite rapidly. Sovos changes quickly, and often, especially in the past two years. I acknowledge that has led to some teams being busier than others. We have made a point to mention TOIL at our quarterly townhalls, but I will make sure to follow up with all managers and make sure that it is being communicated appropriately. I also want to address your comments around diversity. Although we have hired some Executives recently who are male, a good portion of our Executive team, as well as a large number of our senior leaders are female. In the VAT compliance organization, for instance, the fast majority of our managers identify as female. We care very much about having equal representation for all underrepresented groups at Sovos. Finally, we have grown tremendously both organically and, as you mention, as a result of acquisition. It feels like many of the changes that you have witnessed are those that haven’t been explained well, and have caused some incorrect assumptions about our motivations. I would hate for you to continue to feel that way and I would love to go through each of your questions in more detail. Please reach out to me directly if you’d like to take me up on that offer, my door is always open.

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.

Pluspunten

Being Remote and standard benefits

Minpunten

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
