Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. I’m glad to hear that you took note of the career advancement opportunities we have here. Over 30% of our employees experienced a job change or promotion last year. You’ve probably heard that stat before – but it’s something we’re really proud of. I don’t disagree that working at Sovos can be complex and challenging. As a company we are working to do something big that has never been done before – Solving Tax for Good. Tax regulations change fast and it’s our job and responsibility to keep up and provide the solutions to our customers. It’s hard, it’s new and it’s something a lot of us have never done before. That’s why we are the leaders in our space and why we keep extending that lead. I appreciate the contributions you made to this effort – and looking forward to keeping this train rolling. Erik Gilder, Managing Director – North America

Thanks for the feedback and appreciate the callout regarding our training programs. We were recently placed in the top 50 of Training magazine’s Top100 companies recognized for their trainings programs, and we’re excited you’ve been able to be a part of that. Our mission of Solving Tax for Good really means a lot to us as it is our both our vision for the future and our mantra as we do our day-to-day work to meet our customers needs and impact our communities. Thanks again for writing the review.

Thanks for your feedback. I hope our office is clean and quiet, especially now – it’s been 11 months since we made the transition to remote work due to COVID. But since I was hired during the pandemic – I’ve never physically seen the Boston office. But it seems your relationship with management is what really formed your opinion of Sovos, and I’m sorry that it isn’t a great one. We hold our leaders to a high standard, measuring them against a set of competencies that align with Sovos’ core values. If someone was falling short, especially in a way that came across as rude, I wish you had brought it to someone’s attention while you were here. It does sound, though, that one of the things that you didn’t love about our managers is something that a good number of our employees really value – and that is autonomy. We give our employees a lot of training and access to the tools, resources and people they need to be successful, and then we let them do their jobs. There isn’t a lot of micromanagement at Sovos – and that is something most people love. But we know not everyone thrives in this type of environment – and that’s OK. We aren’t the best fit for everyone, and it sounds like we weren’t the best place for you. We do wish you the best of luck finding that place – and we are appreciative of the time that you did spend here. Terry Melnik, General Manager, SUT
