Pros

Global Training for Sales at the beginning

Cons

Lack of corporate culture, Silos between departments and adcquired companies The worse support service in the market Companies has bought several local entities to push business forward, but each one has its own culture, working methods, VPNs, Customized CRM, Data access and BI. Local subs are full of c-level garbage that never sold a screwdriver and try to teach sales along the process, besides keeping side jobs such as airbnbs lookalikes. Also the company advocates to the the a software compliance company but in fact is not much more than a telco operator just specialized in selling documents instead of minutes. Not a software company definitely. The support service is non existent, where a sales person needs to act both as a nanny and a firemen to customers. Always believe on taking the advantage of a customer concern as an opportunity, but this company is a complete joke.

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
