Pros

Unlimited PTO, really nice coworkers.

Cons

They treat people like numbers and let them go like you turn down the temperature on the air conditioning to save money. It also seems like they're using any opportunity they can to hire from out of the country in order to save some money. When I was employed there their annual turnover rate was over 30%.

Pros

Sovos is a great place for attorneys that don’t want to be on call 24/7. There is ample opportunity to practice legal research skills and develop subject matter expertise.

Cons

Not much traditional legal work to gain. Little to no legal writing experience . Little room for meaningful advancement. Low pay.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experience at Sovos. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the work-life balance and the opportunity to practice legal research skills and develop subject matter expertise. We also value your feedback on areas that may need improvement. Regarding the perception of limited traditional legal work and little legal writing experience, we want to clarify that the Regulatory Analysis & Design department is specifically focused on providing regulatory intelligence to power our suite of products. While it may differ from traditional legal roles, the emphasis is on substantive research and scrutiny of tax laws, contributing to high-quality tax analysis that gets reflected in our product. That is also something that we call out on both our job postings and during our interviews, because it is an important distinction. Career growth in this team has historically been well defined. As we continue to focus on leveling up our platform solution, we are actively working on revisiting this topic to ensure we are organized the right to enable the business today, and our team members have ample opportunities to advance their careers as we continue to achieve our aggressive growth targets. We regularly review compensation structures to ensure that we both fair and competitive in our market, and we will remain committed to this as we evolve. If you have any other specific feedback or ideas for improvement, I would be more than happy to set up time to meet 1:1 to discuss. My door is always open.
