Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. Your comment about the fast growth at Sovos is spot on. We are on a mission to Solve Tax for Good, and our rapid progress against this goal creates career growth and development opportunities for our employees. With growth does come change, so adaptability is an important core value for our organization. While business needs do shift as we evolve, retaining Talent remains a top priority for Sovos as this is central to our growth strategy. Thank you again for your feedback and for being part of our journey, and we wish you luck in your career. Colleen Schlagel - Chief Talent Officer

Pros

Pay is good and fair.

Cons

Marketing is way behind the competition. Like way behind and can't catch up. Market has become saturated and there is no differentiation between Sovos and low cost competitor. It's a boys club - if you in with your boss and the boss's boss you can be terrible and keep your job. If not...watch your back. No diversity - nearly all White employees - especially in leadership roles - like Zero minorities (at least in the US). Sales process includes bits for 3 different sales books - plus whatever the training and development sales training flavor of the month is.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. You’re right that Sovos operates in a competitive market. Because of that, we work hard to articulate what makes us the best choice: the promises we make (and more importantly, keep) to customers & employees, the depth of our regulatory analysis team of 100+ experts, the innovation of our solutions, the comprehensiveness of our services, and the audacious goal we’ve set to Solve Tax for Good everywhere. That’s all easy enough for me to say; luckily, unbiased third-parties continue to affirm this differentiation, whether that’s in the most recent IDC MarketScape report on our space, which named Sovos a leader; or the SIIA CODiE Award, which named Sovos Sales & Use Tax Filing the Best Compliance Solution in 2020; or in any number of technology, tax and business publications that cite our experts in their articles. I’m sorry to hear those competitive assets weren’t clear during your time with us. In regards to the diversity of the team, we are proud of the varied life experiences our employees bring with them to their work here every day. That said, Sovos is on a purposeful journey to build an even more diverse, inclusive and equitable company. Over the past year, we have adjusted our recruiting processes, developed trainings for managers, brought in consultants to lead workshops with various teams, opened a search for an inclusion and equity leader, and assessed our people, products and practices through a DEI lens. Thank you for raising this important issue in your comments. While I don't agree with your comment, I agree there is plenty of work yet to be done, and we are committed to that journey. Best of luck in your next role.

The different life experiences and talents our global employees bring to their work contributes to a strong company culture and to success in our markets. We are proud of what we have built at Sovos, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to foster diversity, equity and inclusion. I also hear your comments about salary. Please know we continuously monitor the market and benchmark our roles against industry standards. It is something we will continue to keep an eye on. Thank you, again, for your review.
