      Pros

      It is an awesome company to work at. There is plenty of rewarding challenge and growth opportunities for those willing to put all their passion at work. We do live by our core values and we have a clear mission and vision. Leadership is available and open for suggestions. I’m based on our TUC office and we are probably the best place to work in town. One of the best things is the awesome work environment. There is talented individuals everywhere you look, and they are all willing to help you and share their knowledge with you. Another very cool thing is how Sovos keeps everyone informed about the status of the company, it’s goals, achievements and action plans. Maybe I’m not objective because I’ve been with the company from the beginning of my career, but I feel I’ve always been treated fairly, respectfully, and I’ve been given plenty of chances to grow professionally and personally. I definitely recommend Sovos to anyone looking for a challenge and an great work experience.

      Cons

      Being adaptable is a requirement. Pace is very fast and it requires a lot of flexibility. As the company is constantly growing both organically and through M&A, there is always some investment of energy on getting acquired companies on board.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback! There are so many pieces to this review that we are pleased to hear – none more than your comments about how we keep people informed about the status of the company, it’s goals, achievements and action plans. Communicating with our workforce is a top priority for us, and something that we constantly work on improving. We are glad to see that work is paying off! And you are right, being adaptable is one of our core values for a very important reason. We are constantly growing, and it does require that we invest a lot of time and resources to integrating newly acquired companies effectively. From the moment that we acquire a new company, those employees become an integral part of Sovos. It is important to us that our new colleagues are set up for success. These investments in growth have allowed us to expand our global reach and get a step closer on our mission to Solve Tax For Good! If you have any ideas about how to improve any of our integration processes – we would love to hear them! Thanks, again, for the feedback!

      It is a place to work at

      Pros

      I just want to start off by saying I don’t hate Sovos they gave me my first job out of college and I am appreciative of that but I do want people to understand what they are getting themselves into. If you are a recent college grad and do not have much experience this is a great place to start working as it will set the bar low. Any other company you work for after this will most likely be better. It is good though for getting job experience as people are leaving all the time and someone has to do the work so it will fall to someone not really qualified but you will have to learn it quickly and can add it to your resume. Though all the people that work there are really nice and are really the best part. After 1 year you should probably start looking for a job because they will most likely continue to underpay you always. I want to add they have some smaller pros to distract you from the fact you are underpaid. Examples free drinks, Unlimited PTO (I suggest you start a spreadsheet to track your time off so you are taking more than 4 weeks off a year), Events with free beer and food.

      Cons

      Obviously the major one is pay. You will be underpaid for your entirety of your time working there. I rationalized this by saying they are paying me in experience and that when I leave, I will get my pay day then. Upper Management changes constantly and there is high turnover by people either getting fired or leaving for better jobs but it is hard to know which it is sometimes. You will be given work due to people leaving which you are not qualified for and sometimes the person that knew it fully is gone so there is not as much guidance or help to give you. They sell products that are not fully completed or tested which causes problems for everyone else. They set unrealistic timelines on when things will get done as well. There is not that much communication between departments and people do not really want to take ownership for certain things. The technology they use is out dated and created in the 90s. Upper management is pretty ruthless sometimes with firing people either right before Christmas or right before bonuses are given out.

      We appreciate the time you spent with us and agree the people who work here are one of the best parts of Sovos. I want to take a moment to address the points you bring up. You’re right – we provide employees an opportunity to gain experience and develop their skill sets. By hiring for talent fit first and investing in training, we can hire folks who best fit our culture. We invest a lot in training, coaching and support. And while some take their new skills elsewhere, a lot of people use that development to grow here at Sovos. A whopping thirty percent of our employees experienced a job change or promotion last year! This past April alone, we promoted 88 people, and our turnover rates have been historically low. While we pride ourselves on giving people experience that benefits their careers, we don’t consider that as a substitute for equitable and competitive pay. We work diligently to create a Total Rewards package that is competitive in all areas (benefits, commission and bonuses, time off, etc.), as well as salaries that reflect employees’ hard work as they grow their careers at Sovos. I want to address career development specifically, because it seems like that is a main concern. We give people the opportunity to push themselves in their careers. If someone leaves Sovos, our first goal is to identify someone internally who can move into that role. Sometimes it involves training, but we would look to give those opportunities to those who want them. We provide opportunities employees may have never had before, which we consider a strength. We don’t do it because it’s easier, we do it because it’s core to investing in our people. Our leadership team and I remain personally committed to upholding this investment, and we will continue to do so. Best of luck. - Joe
