Pros

Company growth means lots of change and opportunity for growth. Management is great. Company culture is fun and accommodating, with things such as food and beverage amenities, catering, and events. Unlimited PTO!

Cons

Lots of change and uncertainty as decisions are kept quiet until they are happening. Pay could be higher.

Thanks for the feedback. We realize that people spend a good chunk of their time at work – and we want to make sure that it’s in an environment that is enjoyable! And we also want to make sure that they don’t spend too much of their time at work – so we implemented our myTime flexible time off program. We’re so pleased to hear that those things made a difference to you. And you’re right – a lot of changes can bring some uncertainty. We have worked really hard over the past year to improve our top-down communication and making sure that changes are communicated effectively and timely. Employee feedback has shown that we’re making real strides in that area. Often, our changes involve people and we are careful to balance our need for timely communication with the privacy concerns of individual employees. It’s an area of focus and we will continue to work on it! - Joe H

Pros

My title is sort of corny, but it's accurate. I love working at Sovos. The people are great. Its fun. The unlimited time off is fabulous. I've taken advantage of tuition reimbursement and been able to take trainings that I never would have before. But most of all - I've been given career opportunities that I would never have been able to get on the outside. Sovos believes that smart people can learn new things - and I guess they think I'm smart. In two years, I've been able to move around within the company, make more money, meet new people, travel and gain invaluable experiences. The days go by quickly and it really is just the best place I've ever worked.

Cons

Some departments do have busy seasons where they have to work long hours for a few months. The plus is that if you hate that - its super easy to find other parts of the company where you can move to and thrive. The insurance is also lackluster. Everything counts towards the deductible.

Pros

There is no shortage of interesting projects and knowledgeable people to learn from at Sovos. The environment is fast-paced but if you're able to keep up you'll continually find challenging new opportunities that test your skills and teach you new ones.

Cons

With the fast-paced environment comes a set of challenges. Employees that are used to being able to have tons of time to ponder or make decisions by committee will be in for a rude awakening. Everyone is expected to contribute and the company culture doesn't always enable slowpokes.

I’m often asked by new hires what it takes to be successful here at Sovos. And, I give them this advice: “Find interesting business problems and solve them, regardless of your experience, your specific role or your location.” We do our best to create an environment where everyone can make an impact and learn through the process, and I’m grateful to hear you experienced the benefits of that first hand. I feel lucky every day to be surrounded by authentic, talented and driven people like you. It’s how I learn. Every day I learn something from someone on the team, and I’m happy I got to learn from you. I’m glad you, too, found value in learning from people with different background and experiences. You are right, though, we run at a fast pace. We’re in a market that is transforming under our feet, and we owe it to our customers to adapt quickly and to push ourselves to get better every single day. It’s not an environment for everyone, but it’s amazing to see people embrace it and contribute in ways they never thought possible. Your comments are a good reminder that we should make sure we stay in touch with how all our people are feeling about our pace -- and challenge ourselves as leaders to provide them with everything they need to learn, grow and thrive in our unique culture. Thanks for you feedback and for all you’ve contributed to Sovos. Eric Olson
