Thank you for your feedback. I couldn’t agree more on the company culture and people – the fantastic, international working environment is also one of the things that drew me to Sovos. It’s great to know that you’re demonstrating our Be Professional core value, taking advantage of our learning opportunities, and feel that you are growing in your role. We couldn’t ask for more! We do work in a matrix environment which means sometimes there is more than one stakeholder needed to reach a decision. We are always open to new ideas from employees, regardless of tenure, so if you ever see opportunities for improvement, please reach out. My door is always open! Great to have you on the team. – Eric Lefebvre, Chief Technology Officer

Thank you very much for your feedback and also for the time you spent with us. We really appreciate your callouts. Strong leadership and values are fundamental to any business’ success, and are the foundations of our growth, so I’m immensely pleased that you have felt these in your personal experience with us. Regarding our benefits, these do vary across our locations in line with national legislation, requirements and of course holidays observed. However, we work hard to ensure our benefits are comparable and highly competitive across our locations. We wish you every success in your career journey and we’re happy to have to have been a part of it. Best of luck! – Ruth Fornell, Chief Operations Officer

Pros

Great co-workers (NOT upper management). Everyone works hard and works together to do what they can with awful products.

Cons

Broken and virtually unusable products. Priorities for product development are completely backwards. It is apparent upper management would rather trap misinformed new customers with shiny new (non-functioning) features than provide stability to keep their current ones. Compensation is an absolute joke. Be prepared to be ABSURDLY underpaid while you suffer through constant reorganizations and comically high turnover, which management does not care about unless they can find even cheaper labor. They will then claim they fixed the staffing issue, in which more people will finally leave. Certain departments prey on desperate college graduates, and then wonder why turnover is hilariously high

This is hard to read, but thank you for sharing your thoughts. Let’s start with the fact you had great co-workers. Sovos has the best people, and I am proud to serve our customers alongside every professional who works here. IDC recently recognized the work of this team by naming Sovos a leader in three reports, commending our solutions as “a strong choice for companies of any size looking for cloud tax software and services to meet compliance and regulatory demands anywhere they do business.” We have more than 2,300 employees in 14 countries making that happen. Keeping our promise to customers is our No. 1 priority, and investing in this team is key to that effort. Amid a talent reshuffle affecting many companies, Sovos is growing, with hundreds of new hires in the past year. Alongside team members who have been here for five years, 10 years, 15 years and longer, our newest talent is helping to build a best-in-class customer success model, ambitious R&D roadmaps to address accelerating global compliance mandates, and technology solutions that just supported record transaction volume during some of the busiest shopping (and tax determination) days of the year. Because we hire for talent over experience, a lot of our team has opportunities here they might not get anywhere else, and we’re proud to be a company where people can stretch toward their professional potential. I’m sorry you didn’t have that experience. Best of luck in your next role.
