Sovos reviews

There really are too many to list. First, if you see any positive reviews they are from Sovos marketing, not from happy employees. I've been to the team meetings and kickoffs, nobody is excited to work here. It is simply a stepping stone to your next job. The products are antiquated on the "indirect tax" side. Customer service is abhorrent. The industry experts and partners rarely recommend Sovos for a bidding scenario and their placement on google is fourth page so nobody can find you to engage you for a bid if they did any research. The management is like a frat house, foul language at all meetings and the treatment of women is sub par. Sovos really needs an ethics officer and someone to come in an provide real leadership. The current upper management is not creative and requires all sales people to operate in a tightly controlled process. They do not have extensive sales experience so they like to micromanage. Because the process they created does not work all of the salespeople lie on their reports or create false opportunity numbers. This company really is a bad apple. I would recommend any of its competitors over working for Sovos. There are much better companies out there. In one year I have seen over half of the sales team leave and almost all of those people qualified for presidents club. I myself qualified and decided to leave two months before reviewing my rewards. It's just not worth it.

It's very unfortunate that we lack strong technical presence. We lose our brightest and best because we settle for for what ever gets us over the finishing line. Again, without bashing the architects, they're in over their heads. What they built years ago doesn't scale. They refuse to listen to the younger developers who have brilliant ideas. They create archaic tools they only understand and call it proprietary. It's not. They could never sell it nor could they leave it as a legacy system. It is simply job security.
