      I interviewed at Sovos

      Interview

      5 rounds to the interview process: recruiter phone screen, an online personality/problem solving exercise (basic math, vocabulary, logic), a skype call with the same problem solving exercise to ensure you were actually the one that completed it the first time, technical phone screen, in-person interview. I didn’t move past the technical screen. The negative rating comes from the time consuming process. Honestly, I wasn’t even upset to not move forward. Trying to schedule 5 rounds just for them is a bit much (especially with other interviews and my current job). When 2 of those rounds are a problem solving exercise that is essentially just SAT questions and unrelated to the actual job, it makes you question company culture and judgement. My comments aren’t rooted in bitterness, but more in bewilderment that a company would waste so much of someones time on such nonsense. Responses to past reviews state some generic HR language about how this is necessary to get the best candidates, but it really isn't.

      Question 1

      Typical questions you'd expect from both the recruiter and technical side. No surprises there.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on your interviewing experience. Every step of our recruiting process, including the assessment, helps us identify and hire the employees who will contribute, build, and maintain our culture. The advantage of using the assessment process is to allow seeing things in an unbiased context, and to hire with future growth and potential in mind. In addition, we conduct entrance interviews with new hires after 90 days. In those conversations we constantly hear, across all our departments and locations, “The people here are great!” Each step in the interview process, the assessment, technical interview, conversations with various leaders all have specific purposes that help make our decision to continue creating a great work environment. We also want to extend an additional thank you for finding the time to meet with our recruiting and hiring teams as well as your interest in Sovos. The individual we bring into this role will play an integral part in moving not only our Technology teams, but the entire business forward at a fast pace. As we continue to grow, we are looking at areas of improvement in all aspects of the business and that includes our interviewing and hiring process. Your feedback will be taken into serious consideration and we will take another look at improving the interview process for this role.
