      Cutthroat, unstable, avoid this place

      Pros

      -Lots of good people in the MN office, a few scattered at other locations -Experience working in an extremely fast paced environment -Ability to learn a variety of job functions (since it is likely you will have to cover 2-3 separate roles) -Good job if you are looking for customer service/seasonal work -When you leave and work at a better company it will seem easy because of everything you went through at Sovos

      Cons

      -They value hiring "cheap" inexperienced workers with some potential over an experienced professional -Zero work life balance, especially during tax season. Expect to be called, emailed, and involved in resolving issues at all hours of the day and night, weekends, holidays, etc. It doesn't matter--you are on call regardless of your job function -Extremely unstable systems--infrastructure and software--too much change -People are leaving here in masses--both voluntarily and through layoffs -Note--I am fairly certain all of the recent positive reviews on here for Sovos are fake and written by HR recruiting

      Fired after first week for no reason, with no warning or even explanation, don't apply here if you need job security.

      Pros

      Free soda/snacks in office, gym on first floor. Good experience with other staff here, both personality + expertise. They sometimes do events for employees here.

      Cons

      I was let go with no warning after my first week, and they refused to even offer me any type of feedback whatsoever about it. I was still getting set up on their network = never given a chance to demonstrate my skill-set, and I did not violate any company policies either, therefore I am at a loss to explain why. I was not given a notice period either; Friday morning I was escorted to a meeting room and the conversation was pretty much "you're fired, effective immediately, here's your last paycheck, we called a taxi to take you home in 30 minutes". I appealed to a VP about it, and received a standard boilerplate response that failed to address my concerns.

      Sovos, not streamlined but striving

      Pros

      There are a lot of intelligent people working at Sovos. The Troys and Jeffs of the organization make it worth it to work there. You will learn a lot of skills and gain great experience. The rate of growth is high and the departments are all full of people who genuinely want the company to succeed.

      Cons

      If you don't like turbulence, don't fly with Sovos. There is constant change and constant turnover. This company is really good for gaining experience and skills, but not for the long term. There is not a lot of career opportunity for advancement. Be prepared to be lied to and kept out of the loop on lots of things. Transparency means different things to different people within the organization. Also, sometimes new department heads try too hard to make it their own and lose sight of what works well and they talent they have. At Sovos, everyone is replaceable, which is sad because institutional knowledge is critical in that kind of business.

      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.
