Thank you taking the time to share your feedback. It's great to hear you find your colleagues supportive and value our approach to flexible work. I agree with you on this: Sovos has the most amazing people and I constantly feel lucky to work alongside each of you. On your concerns about salary, I want to affirm the importance of fair compensation. We regularly review our salary structures to ensure they align with industry standards, and we are committed to addressing any discrepancies. Regarding the gap between management and employees and perceived lack of coordination, these are areas we are actively working on improving. Our organization is currently going through a period of a rapid and marked evolution in the face of accelerating change in the market as businesses journey to address “always on compliance.” To keep our employees in the loop, and because we value open communication, we have launched several improved communication channels to help our employees stay on top of changes as they occur: more frequent SovosConnect meetings for all company and global functions and a soon-to-be-relaunched intranet to access company information quickly and easily. I do hope those are things that you are taking advantage of already, but if not, they are wonderful resources. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where open communication and collaboration thrive. Your input is valuable, and we encourage you to share specific instances or suggestions with us to help us better understand. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please feel free to reach out to your manager, your senior or executive leader, HR or myself. I would love the opportunity to talk about any of your concerns in more detail. Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts! We appreciate all that you do. Laura Handler Chief of Staff

It's encouraging to hear that you recognize the efficiency gained from having a solid understanding of the basics.

Pros

WFH Flexibility Early-career stepping stone company

Cons

This company has taken a nose dive in the past year with new leadership and mass layoffs. New CEO is clearly making the company as lean as possible to set it up to be acquired, as he has done several times in his career. Shame that a former great place to work has fallen off this quickly.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We value your perspective and take your observations seriously. As you know, and we communicated regularly since the new leadership team has been here, Sovos is actually investing more than it ever has in the company’s history. More in its employees, its customers, and its technology. We are not ‘making the company lean to sell it’, we are making the company more innovative, transformative, efficient and streamlined to compete effectively and win in a much more dynamic and highly competitive environment. Our clients require more from us than ever before and we have the great opportunity to change how and what we deliver for them. So there is absolutely zero notion of ‘getting lean to sell’, it’s 100% ‘getting more efficient and investing more than ever in the right ways (and yes, that means some different ways) to make the company even stronger, a better partner for our customers, and a better / more successful company for our employees Thousands of employees in the company recognize and feel this. They can tangibly feel the focus on DE&I, on ESG, on Culture, on Teamwork and Collaboration (One Sovos!), on Transparency and Communication, on Employee Wellness. We hear daily how much the double-down focus and investment in these areas is appreciated. Change is hard – but it is necessary. And it’s something we do together as a team, every single team member is involved and makes a huge difference and a huge impact. Not advancing these changes would be a disservice to our employees, partners, and customers. Despite how hard it is, I am excited that we have made these changes and that our employees, clients, and partners are starting to feel the highly positive impacts. We and I truly value your feedback, and thank you for the contributions you made when you were here. I wish you the best of luck as you continue your career. - Kevin Akeroyd CEO
