I am really sorry to hear you had such a negative experience with us. I feel everyone, including our leadership team, works very hard to ensure Sovos is a great place to work. I agree, we have great people working at Sovos! We do work with Leadership to live our values, learn and apply our leadership competencies, and attend ongoing training sessions to enhance their managerial skills. I am sorry that was not your experience at Sovos with leadership. On your note about benefits- I’m a little surprised. Our Health Savings Account matching program is among the best in the industry and we typically receive overwhelmingly positive feedback. Since it is a very customizable package, most of our employees are able to make a plan that fits their exact needs. We wish you the best going forward.

Pros

Great internal teams, lots of facetime with clients.

Cons

Another department's struggles in recent years is suddenly hoisted upon you to fix, resulting in angry clients and working far outside your given parameters.

Who would have thought that working for a tax software company could be fun?! I’m constantly impressed by our departments and truly believe it’s our people that make Sovos the fun, successful company it is today. We emphasize working as one team and prioritize collaboration to help our clients manage the complexities of global tax. That takes a lot of work and I am proud at how dedicated our employees are to that mission. With that said, our intention is not to overwhelm our hardworking Sovosians. If you don’t feel like your workload is manageable, please make sure to speak with your manager. Or if you’d feel more comfortable - I’d be happy to discuss this with you further. Thank you for all you do, Ruth Fornell

Thanks for your feedback. I know what you mean, my co-workers are my favorite part of Sovos too. Our organization is made up of so many talented and inspiring individuals who do incredible work. I always consider myself lucky to work alongside all of you. And I agree, there are areas where we can do better. Meetings are a good example, it’s an area where we know that we can improve. The pivot to having so many of our employees working remotely due to our new flexible guidelines has certainly impacted the number of meetings here. We have had our leadership development program and other focus groups tackle this problem in the past. If you have some ideas about how to ensure meetings are a good use of our time, I would love to hear them. And that holds true for everyone, we are always looking for feedback on ways that we can do better. My door, and the doors of all of Sovos’ leaders and HR members, are open if you or anyone wants to share feedback directly. Thanks, again, for sharing and we are glad you are here.
