Thank you for taking the time to provide such great feedback! We hire smart, hard-working and career-minded individuals, so providing those opportunities you mentioned is fairly simple when you’ve got the right people. Because of those great people, we enjoy providing flexible time-off because life happens, and we want to make sure people are taking the needed time off whenever that may be. That includes our Volunteer Time Off (VTO). Our employees have consistently shown that they value giving back to our communities and we love to be able to support that! We also appreciate you mentioning compensation. We will continue to evaluate this as we recognize salary is extremely important component when selecting place of employment. Thanks again for your feedback and we’ll continue to provide new and creative ways to show our recognition for employees every day. If you have any specific ideas, reach out to your local HR, we love employee feedback!

Lots of free morale-boosting pizza.

Cons

Boring products, not the sharpest employees.

Your review might be short, but I take it very seriously as it calls out the two areas of the company that we are most proud of – our products and, more importantly, our people. Tax compliance may not be the most exciting dinner conversation– but our products are far from boring. In fact, Sovos was recently recognized as a Leader in the inaugural “IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Sales Tax and VAT Automation Applications 2019 Vendor Assessment.” We were specifically called out for our sophisticated cloud tax software, the world’s first complete solution for modern tax. And more importantly, I completely disagree with you about the caliber of employee we have working here. Without even going into detail about how extensively we screen our candidates to ensure that they are a talent fit (and we do) all you have to do is scroll through comments on Glassdoor. What you will see over and over again are comments about the high quality of our people and the positive experiences people have had working with them. Your perception is far from the norm and I am sorry we lost your engagement somewhere. We understand and openly acknowledge that Sovos work environment is not for everyone. But one of our company goals is to create a workplace where career-minded individuals can come together to take on challenges and grow and develop themselves while making an impact on the organization. We will continue to remain committed to this and we wish you luck in your new role.

Cons

There is a lot to learn at first but the training and trainers do an amazing job of making you feel at ease.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review! We agree there is definitely a lot to learn about Sovos and our industry and we try to break that down as you enter our Onboarding programs. I am excited to hear that your experience with us and our trainers has made it easier. We do our best to help you get the basics under your belt early especially with our fast-paced changing environment! As you are already seeing, the people who work at Sovos are the best part of the company so if you ever need clarification on anything, we have a whole organization of people who are more than happy to help.. Thanks again and glad to have you as part of our team!
