Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that our benefits and time off work well for you. I am sorry that you find that your local leadership is lacking. Our development teams in Mexico are very important to the organization as a whole and I would be very interested in learning where you think we could improve. If you are up for it, I would love to meet and hear your thoughts. Please feel free to reach out to me directly. Paulo Barbieri - Vice President of Technology

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am so pleased to hear you loved working here. I do too! I understand your feedback about our sales quotas; we set high expectations for our sales teams. We know we are selling something special. Global tax requirements are rapidly changing, and businesses have to update their processes down to the transactional level in order to not only comply, but to thrive. In short, companies need what we sell – and our sales team is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this. We set our quotas accordingly. It’s important for us to set aggressive, and realistic quotas for every last quota carrying team member to ensure our employees are set up for success. Every year we re-analyze the market opportunity in front of us and establish annual quotas accordingly. In addition, sales team members are supported by leadership, ongoing sales training initiatives, sales operations teams, marketing leads, and so many other resources across the business. Quota carriers have uncapped commission, so the opportunity is there for our sales team to take advantage. Lastly, you are completely right about work/life balance. That is why we have a flexible time off program in the US and have moved to a global flexible work model. I thank you for the time that you spent here. We cheered your successes while you were here, and we will continue to do so as you grow your career elsewhere.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you, our employees are the best part of our company. Having a diverse workforce brings unique perspectives and experiences and I am proud to work for a company that embraces inclusion. It is a core value at Sovos and we see it as essential to achieving our purpose as a business. I understand your comment about integration. It can be challenging to part of an acquired organization and I am sure that it can feel as if we aren’t doing enough to integrate. I can assure you that we do extensive work to integrate both the business and the employees quicky and effectively. Much of this work is done on teams behind the scenes, but I would be happy to sit down and talk to you about this in more depth. I also take your advice about corporate events seriously. Our move to a more remote environment has made this more challenging, but we know that our employees value seeing and celebrating one another. We are working on improving in this area. As part of integration, we introduced our Whole Living committee in Portugal not too long ago. These local groups are very focused on issues related to employee wellbeing and the events that we run related to that, so if it is something you feel strongly about I encourage you to reach out to them and see if you can contribute. Or even join! Thank you again for your feedback and as I said, my door is always open if you would like to discuss in more detail.
