Sovos, not streamlined but striving - Anonymous employee Sovos Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Feedback like yours helps us understand what’s working well and where we’re falling short. We are glad to hear you recognized the value of working alongside talented, passionate people, as well as the opportunity to learn new skills and gain hands-on career experience. Our career advancement philosophy at Sovos is that your growth is in your hands. We have a strong preference for hiring internally and all promotion decisions are merit-based. In the past 12 months alone, nearly one-third of our 600 employees experienced career growth in some form. In fact, Sovos employees use the words “growth” and “potential” to describe their experience more so than employees at other benchmarked tech companies. You are right that in order to be successful at Sovos, you must embody our core value of “embrace change.” We believe this includes the ability to adjust effectively to the rapidly changing conditions inherent with working in a high-growth business and industry. Many Sovos employees view the excitement of working in a dynamic environment as a positive aspect of working here, but we acknowledge the fast pace of change is not right for everyone. We are disappointed to hear that you experienced a lack of transparency at Sovos. With 750+ employees in eight offices on three continents (up from 600 last year!), it can be a challenge to communicate in a way that reaches and resonates with everyone, which is why we are undertaking efforts to improve internal communication this year. One project underway is the development of a company intranet, where employees will be able to connect, collaborate, and communicate with each other while staying up-to-date on company news. Thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
