Thank you for sharing your experience. While there is no perfect way to navigate workforce changes, we empathize with the challenges they bring and strive to provide meaningful support throughout the process. At Sovos, we prioritize supporting our employees through change by providing resources to help them move forward. During the transition you referenced, we provided advanced notice while allowing those impacted to remain actively employed, along with job search and networking sessions covering resume building, LinkedIn best practices, and other career tools that have been valuable for many employees. We also facilitated a meeting with our offshore partner to explore potential opportunities within their organization. These offerings may not have met your needs based on your feedback in this review. Clear communication is always a priority, and it sounds like we could have improved in a few places for you. This is important feedback as we recognize the importance of ensuring employees have the information, they need during these moments. I also appreciate the feedback regarding the structure of our support efforts. Our team worked hard to ensure that these sessions were well-prepared, informative, and genuinely helpful. Our priority was (and continues to be) providing meaningful assistance during times of transition. Thank you truly for your contributions to Sovos & our great team. Your feedback helps us improve how we support employees, and we remain committed to learning and evolving. We wish you the best in your next opportunity and encourage you to reach out to our HR team if you need any further support. Colleen Schlagel Chief Talent Officer

Pros

-Good people (the ones left) -Remote -Opportunity to implement ideas with little resistance if the idea appears beneficial.

Cons

-High executive turnover -Unclear mission (stated mission doesn’t align with actions of current ELT or previous ELT) -Breakneck change, to the point where you don’t know what position will be eliminated or what process will be flipped upside down.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re glad to hear you appreciated some of the positives of your time at Sovos, including the great people and the opportunity to implement ideas. We also appreciate the contributions you made while you were here. We know that change at Sovos has been fast-paced, and that can be challenging. The nature of global tax compliance is constantly evolving, and we’ve always had to adapt quickly to stay ahead of industry shifts and keep our customers compliant. While this pace of change can create uncertainty, it is also what allows us to remain a leader in our space. It is also what drives us to innovate and implement new ideas in a meaningful way. We also recognize that culture and investment in people are critical to our success. That’s why we recently refreshed our core values based on employee feedback, ensuring they reflect who we are today and where we’re headed. To foster ongoing transparency, our executive team continues to host open mic and feedback sessions, giving employees the opportunity to share their thoughts and help shape our future. We appreciate your time with Sovos and wish you the best in your next chapter. — David Woodworth, Chief Financial Officer
