Pros

My title is sort of corny, but it's accurate. I love working at Sovos. The people are great. Its fun. The unlimited time off is fabulous. I've taken advantage of tuition reimbursement and been able to take trainings that I never would have before. But most of all - I've been given career opportunities that I would never have been able to get on the outside. Sovos believes that smart people can learn new things - and I guess they think I'm smart. In two years, I've been able to move around within the company, make more money, meet new people, travel and gain invaluable experiences. The days go by quickly and it really is just the best place I've ever worked.

Cons

Some departments do have busy seasons where they have to work long hours for a few months. The plus is that if you hate that - its super easy to find other parts of the company where you can move to and thrive. The insurance is also lackluster. Everything counts towards the deductible.

We appreciate your feedback and are so glad that you're enjoying your time at Sovos! The culture and people are the best parts of our company, hands down. You’re right that the tax industry can be volatile, but we think that’s what makes us such a great resource for our clients - Taxes aren’t going anywhere. What does change are the global regulations and compliance issues surrounding taxes that can change quickly and rapidly – which is what our software is uniquely positioned to address. We continue to look for new and exciting ways to remain on the cutting-edge and be a market leader in this space. Joe Healey

Pros

Growing company (organic and through takeovers), so that created a lot of opportunities for advancement

Cons

Employee churn was always high. People would disappear and no one would discuss it. High school type of atmosphere, odd for an office environment

Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that you were able to see the opportunity for advancement here at Sovos. The company has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years and that has allowed us to offer opportunities to our employees that enable them to develop their careers in new and exciting ways. Often that means that they grow within Sovos, but sometimes it means that they use the skills they develop here and bring their talents elsewhere. We hate to see our great employees leave us, but we are proud that we gave them a skillset that is transferable and that they are able to grow professionally. Despite the perception you may have had – employee turnover is actually the lowest that it has ever been here! We are the first to admit that communication can be difficult and we aren’t always perfect at it, which is why improving effective communication was one of our strategic goals for FY18. We saw significant improvement in employee satisfaction related to that and we will continue to work on it. And finally, we want to address your comment about our atmosphere. We strive to be a community of professional and collaborative individuals rowing together – and that, overwhelmingly, is the feedback that we get from employees both past and present. Over and over we hear how awesome the people are that work here and how much people value our culture. We are sorry that you saw the differently. We want to thank you for the time that you spent with Sovos and we wish you luck in the future.
