Pros

A company with a great culture and lot of transparency within all departments. The interview consisted of a cognitive and behavioral test online & proctored as well. Upon the interview, I was invited for an in-person interview with multiple people from the management team. It lasted for about 2 hours. Pretty straight forward behavioral questions with a lot of information about the position and the role. The entire process took about 2 weeks. Top notch communication system throughout the company. Got a phone call few days upon my interview with an offer and accepted it.

Cons

Just started a week ago so I don't have any. Perhaps the pay grade can be improvised based on the applicants' experience and skill set.

Thanks for taking a moment to leave your thoughts. I’m glad that you had a positive interview experience! Our process is a bit unique, but it’s that process that allows us to hire so many talented people that make up that great culture that you pointed out. I’m so pleased that, despite only being here for a short amount of time, you have already been able to identify some of the areas that really make Sovos great. Be Collaborative is one of our core values. As a global organization with offices in 10 countries – collaboration and transparency are two areas that enable us to be as successful as we are. As you work here longer, I am sure that you will identify areas that you do think can be improved upon and I encourage you to not be shy and to step up and off your suggestions on how to make them better. You can make meaningful changes here at Sovos from Day 1. Thanks for joining us, we are so glad that you are a part of our team.

Dishonest leadership + poor compensation + a bad product

Pros

I met some great friends here in my 2.5 years. Almost everyone I worked with was a genuinely good person. It’s also very easy to move up the corporate ladder in a short span of time if you prove yourself to be smart and enthusiastic.

Cons

The pay is very low. I was promoted (for the second time) after a year and a half, and was making $20,000 under the median salary for my new title in my area. I was told I was only eligible for a performance-based raise; not for a new salary reflecting my added responsibilities. And they even nickel-and-dimed me on the performance-based raise, despite consistently positive reviews from my supervisors. The corporate culture is nonexistent; they hire entry-level talent for cheap and people leave constantly because of it. The “Boston” office is actually 20 miles north of the city right off 93 in a depressing corporate office park. Ditto “Minneapolis” and “Atlanta.” By far the most comical was their attempt to spin Farnborough in the UK as “London” – it’s nearly two hours away! The “Executive Leadership Team” is completely full of it, and they barely attempt to hide it. Everyone knows the product and the company are not viable long-term; the software is 30 years out of date and all recorded revenue growth is a result of ill-fated acquisitions to “expand our global footprint” (read: acquire companies that are actually good at what they do in the hope that it’ll rub off on Sovos).

It is no accident you worked with great people during your time at Sovos, or that you saw a career path here for smart, engaged professionals. Our strategy is to hire for culture and talent – even over experience – because we know talented people will rise to the challenges of a dynamic, growing company in a dynamic, growing market. Nearly half of our 1,300+ employees are early in their careers. They come to Sovos because they can get experiences they wouldn’t get anywhere else. Is this a company where you will work in the heart of a city? In some of our 14 global locations, yes, and in others, no. Is this a company where career-minded people have the chance to learn and advance while helping our customers manage the digital transformation of tax? In every Sovos office, the answer is “yes.” This approach works for the company and most of the people that work here. IDC named Sovos a leader in its 2019 MarketScape report on our market, and Gartner recently positioned us as one of only three compliance vendors of note (including one we’ve since acquired) in a competitive landscape. I hope everyone who works here takes pride in how these independent industry analysts have evaluated Sovos product vision and individual solutions. The people who thrive at Sovos, as it sounds you did with two promotions in less than three years, do so because they embody our core values to be collaborative, accountable, adaptable, proactive and professional. That is the Sovos culture. Thanks for your contributions to Sovos during your time here. We wish you the best in your future career.
