Sovos reviews

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback and are sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience while here at Sovos. We would like to take the time to address some of the points that you bring up. First, we recognize that salary is an extremely important component when choosing an employer - after all, it’s your livelihood. This is why we maintain a pulse check on market average. We benchmark our salaries against similar companies in similar geographies to ensure that our wages are fair and competitive. In addition to that, we provide regular opportunities for salary increases via promotions and merit increases. Thirty percent of our employees at Sovos experienced a promotion or job change in FY18. You also mention benefits. We realize that salary isn’t the only thing that employees value. That is why we choose to offer a Total Rewards program in which we pair salary with a number of other benefits that help to make our employees lives better. We offer health benefits with an employer matching HSA contribution, myTime flexible time off, paid maternity and leave programs, an employer matched 401k program, tuition reimbursement, development and wellness programs and many, many more. And we feel our employees appreciate that, which showed in a 14% increase in our latest engagement survey when asked about benefits compared to others in the industry. And you are right, we are not a startup company and our huge growth has shown that! But our culture is more reflective of one where our senior leaders are present, ideas are heard, and change is made. We’re sorry that you did not view it this way, or get a chance to experience some of the benefits offered. Again, we appreciate your feedback and wish you luck in your future career. - Joe Healey

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Feedback like yours helps us understand what’s working well and where we’re falling short. We are glad to hear you recognized the value of working alongside talented, passionate people, as well as the opportunity to learn new skills and gain hands-on career experience. Our career advancement philosophy at Sovos is that your growth is in your hands. We have a strong preference for hiring internally and all promotion decisions are merit-based. In the past 12 months alone, nearly one-third of our 600 employees experienced career growth in some form. In fact, Sovos employees use the words “growth” and “potential” to describe their experience more so than employees at other benchmarked tech companies. You are right that in order to be successful at Sovos, you must embody our core value of “embrace change.” We believe this includes the ability to adjust effectively to the rapidly changing conditions inherent with working in a high-growth business and industry. Many Sovos employees view the excitement of working in a dynamic environment as a positive aspect of working here, but we acknowledge the fast pace of change is not right for everyone. We are disappointed to hear that you experienced a lack of transparency at Sovos. With 750+ employees in eight offices on three continents (up from 600 last year!), it can be a challenge to communicate in a way that reaches and resonates with everyone, which is why we are undertaking efforts to improve internal communication this year. One project underway is the development of a company intranet, where employees will be able to connect, collaborate, and communicate with each other while staying up-to-date on company news. Thank you again for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
