Pros

Unlimited pto, unlimited Soda and seltzer water

Cons

Not a great job to start your career. Will close far more doors than the job will open. Not really a job that requires a law degree. Office location in Wilmington is absurdly depressing even with the renovation

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Our regulatory counsel roles are unique in that they are not traditional career paths for practicing law. As we stress in these job postings, “Great fits for this role: sharp legal minds who have a love for legal research. Not so great fits for this role: lawyers who are interested in trial law (there's no jury here!) or folks who are interested in being part of an internal corporate legal team. We have a team like that at Sovos; this is not it.” We do our best to make this clear, right from the start, before anyone considers applying. Recruiters and hiring managers also share more about the role and its responsibilities with interested candidates. If you were applying to this role to open doors to a traditional career in law – this was never going to be the right choice. Perhaps the mismatch on your career goals affected your other experiences. Your feedback about our office space and tagline, for example, doesn’t match the consistent feedback we hear – both directly and from anonymous survey results. (As you know, Sovos sends an employee engagement survey every year to collect insights into how our employees feel.) Our employee net promoter score, which indicates how many people would recommend working here, increased more than 20% in the past year. And we are proud of the fact that as a for profit company, Sovos can (and does!) affect the greater good. When we say Solve Tax for Good, we’re serious about what that means for helping businesses prosper and communities thrive. Our technology and services support efforts to close tax gaps around the world, our leadership prioritizes helping employees grow professionally and improve their way of life, and our employees take us up on benefits like charitable matching and more. Recognizing this role did not fit your goals, I hope you have found a career path that does. I wish you all the best. Pawel Smolarkiewicz, VP, Chief Product Officer

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I appreciate your call out to the positive experiences you had with your coworkers, peers, and management. Although, I will share I’m surprised at your feedback regarding the atmosphere and low pay. Sales salaries, as you may know, have an uncapped commission plan. This means if you have the drive and determination the sky is the limit in terms of compensation and reward. We had 38 sales reps make it to our President’s Club this year due to their hard work. I have heard our atmosphere described in many ways. Fast-paced, challenging, collaborative – those are some that stick out. Boring is not one I’ve heard. As an industry leader in tax automation software, we are in a constant environment of change. If we ever want to Solve Tax for Good we must rise to the ever-evolving regulatory challenges that businesses and governments are facing globally. It’s not for everyone – but it’s definitely an exciting ride. Erik Gilder, Managing Director – North America

Thanks for sharing your feedback about your experiences at Sovos. You point out the opportunities to learn and grow at Sovos, and I am pleased to see that. Career development is a big part of how we cultivate an engaged workplace. Recognizing the importance of salary, we also do extensive market research to ensure we are meeting industry standards. We may not always make the highest offer, but we are fair. And we offer more than just salary. Our Total Rewards program includes base salary, bonus and commission opportunities, as well as benefits plans and our myTime flexible time off plan (among others). We offer growth, learning, flexibility and the opportunity to partner globally on solving problems for businesses and government entities. That opportunity for growth is there for anyone willing to raise their hand and seize it. Again, thank you for your feedback, and we wish you luck in your next role.
