Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contributions you continue to make to Sovos. I appreciate your recognition of our global reach and multicultural environment. These are qualities we work hard to foster as we continue building a truly collaborative workplace. I hear your concerns about workload and compensation. The compliance industry moves at a demanding pace, and we are transparent about that reality. We need people who thrive in fast-paced environments where resources are strategically allocated to maximize impact. That said, your feedback about feeling stretched is important, and we are actively working to balance operational demands with sustainable workloads as we scale. Regarding compensation, we regularly benchmark our offerings against market standards to remain competitive. While we cannot always meet every expectation, we are committed to fair compensation aligned with the value our teams deliver. I would encourage you to connect with your manager or our Talent team if you have not already. We want to understand specific concerns and explore solutions where possible. Sovos is in a period of transformation, and that means making intentional choices about where we invest. Your perspective helps us stay grounded as we navigate that journey. We are committed to continuous improvement in how we support our people while delivering for our customers. Thank you again for your feedback. We value having you as part of our team. Best, Eva Krauss - Chief Transformation Officer

Good Product, But Management is a Complete Disaster

Pros

Sovos has a solid product with good market potential. Some amazing and hardworking colleagues who truly care about their work.

Cons

No Real Training: They offer useless generic training sessions, but when it comes to actual product-related training, there’s nothing. Employees are expected to figure things out on their own. No Team Meetings or Employee Check-ins: I honestly don’t remember the last time management arranged a team meeting or even a casual catch-up call to check on employees. Unresponsive Management: Whenever we request support or feedback—especially on critical matters like salary raises on recent promotions—management either completely ignores it for months or avoids the conversation altogether. Shocking Handling of Salary Raises: The pay raise I received after my promotion was disappointingly low. When I raised concerns, leadership ignored me for months. After constant follow-ups, they finally had a meeting only to put the blame on me. Their reasoning? The only way to give me a fair raise would be to fire other employees. Instead of addressing the issue, they wanted me to "put myself in other people’s shoes" and accept it as fair. Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. Leadership is Disconnected & Lacks Empathy: Upper management is completely out of touch with reality. They expect miracles from employees while giving absolutely nothing in return. Hardworking people are leaving in frustration, yet leadership refuses to acknowledge or even have a conversation with them before they go. Toxic Culture & No Accountability: The company has been completely destroyed by the current management. They are ignorant, unprofessional, and severely lack basic soft skills or emotional intelligence. Employees are treated like disposable assets, and there’s no effort to improve morale or retain talent.

“Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m glad to hear you see the strength and market-potential of our products and appreciated the hard work of your colleagues – we truly are fortunate to have such dedicated people on our team. I’m sorry to hear about your frustrations, especially around leadership and communication. As a current employee, I am sure you have seen our messages acknowledging improvement opportunities and the focused actions we are implementing, as advised by employee-led focus groups providing. It’s clear we fell short in your experience, and that’s something I personally take to heart. I hope you see improvement going forward. Our leadership team is deeply committed to building an environment where employees feel connected and respected. It is simply unacceptable not to have consistent 1-on-1 meetings and team check-ins. These conversations are crucial for ensuring employees feel supported and voice their needs and concerns. These touchpoints are a priority because we care about our people and their experiences. We need leaders who can explain messages with clarity and are willing to hear from employees directly. I want you to know that your feedback matters and helps us get better. We care deeply about our employees, and we’re committed to making Sovos a place where everyone feels supported, respected, and empowered to grow. If you’re open to it, I’d welcome the chance to learn more about your experience to help us understand where we went wrong and how we can improve. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. We’re listening, and we’re committed to doing better. “ Kevin Akeroyd, CEO
