Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you left the organization feeling this way. I understand that compensation is important to our employees, and I can assure you that we constantly monitor both the local market and larger economic factors to ensure that our employees are compensated fairly. It is a process that does not stop. I do understand your frustration with meetings. I wish I could say that is a Sovos specific issues, but studies indicate that the number of meetings in all companies have increased substantially since the pandemic. Over the past year we have increased the number of meeting free days that we sponsor, for example. I do wish you provided some more insight into how you feel we have fallen short of being a good international company. With locations in over 16 countries and employees living in even more, we have worked hard to build an inclusive global organization where all of our employees are represented. I would have loved feedback on how we could improve, which we are always aiming to do. I wish you the best of luck as you continue your career. - Eric Lefebvre, CTO

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The headline of your review really sums up some of the best parts of Sovos (in my opinion.) The ability for our employees to learn and grow, either through training, internal mobility or other means, is so important to me. You are right that support can be a tough department in our busy seasons. We take our commitment to our clients very seriously and end of year can be very busy. I am very sorry to hear that you feel like our Executive leaders do not take your concerns seriously or show support. I can only speak for myself, but know my peers echo this, when I say emphatically say that is not true. Our mission is to improve people's way of life, and that starts with our own employees. While we certainly must weigh the needs of our customers when we make decisions, we make all of our decisions with our employees in mind. If there is something you feel strongly about, or that you don't understand the "why" of, I would love to share more 1:1. My door is always open.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am glad to hear that you have appreciated the learning and development opportunities that we have available. Our goal is to offer an incredible developer experience and I know that training and development play an important role in that. I understand your frustration with compensation in our higher inflation countries. We are continually monitoring local economic conditions and providing compensation adjustments accordingly and at intervals frequent enough to keep up with the cost of living. Your local leader will be able to best explain how we calculate locally, but I am happy to discuss with you as well. My door is always open. - Eric Lefebvre, CTO
