Pros

This company offers a lot of really great benefits and seems to take care of their employees from a non-working perspective. Everyone I've worked with has been very friendly and welcoming. They offer very flexible time off. While they have physical offices, my job has been 100% remote.

Cons

My company was acquired via acquisition. The first year plus seemed to be promising. My prior company was much smaller and Sovos being a bigger company felt like could be a great benefit but over a year later things have not really improved and seem to actually be trending in the opposite direction. Workload increases seem to be far outpacing pay increases. The pay itself while nothing impressive is sustainable but not for the amount of work they have us doing.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. Being a part of an acquired company is challenging. It’s almost certain that there will be some things that change. Many of those are for the better. You mention our flexible time off policy – that’s a good example. Others might include the chance to work in a global organization, or an immediate increase in the job opportunities available to you to grow your career. Some changes are more difficult. But I do want to challenge the idea that our decision making is done by people who are out of touch with the work being done on the ground. While I don’t know for sure which organization you were a part of prior to acquisition – I do know that the leadership teams of our compliance services organization have remained largely the same. That means that the leaders who were part of companies before they were acquired are still leaders at Sovos. They play a vital role in our decision-making processes – influencing employment decisions, merit increases, process improvements, etc. We do this because we know how important it is to retain people who do understand the complexities of the job. But while I might disagree with the root cause – I still understand and appreciate your feedback. It is hard to feel engaged when you don’t understand how decisions are being made and that is something that we can and will work on to make sure you and anyone else feeling similarly understand. My door is always open if you want to talk to me directly! Paul Banker, GM

Thanks for the feedback - we couldn't agree more that the people are great. Having coverage is important while taking vacation as we hold ourselves accountable to keep our promise for our customers. But I am sorry to hear that it may have made it difficult for you to take more time off, and perhaps was a missed opportunity for a conversation with your manager. We wish you luck in your next role and thanks again for your feedback! – Terry Melnik, General Manager
