Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad the remote work flexibility has been valuable to you. We understand that staffing levels can directly impact your day-to-day experience, and we appreciate you bringing this concern forward. Balancing team capacity with business needs is something we take seriously. While we always aim to have the right resources in place, there are times when growth, transitions, or unexpected changes create temporary gaps. During those periods, we recognize the additional pressure that can fall on our teams. We're actively working to address staffing challenges through strategic hiring and internal resource planning. Your feedback helps us stay focused on creating a sustainable work environment where everyone can succeed. If you'd like to discuss your experience further or share additional insights, we encourage you to reach out directly to the Talent Team. We're here to listen. Thank you again for your input. - The Sovos HR Team

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contributions you continue to make to Sovos. I appreciate your recognition of our global reach and multicultural environment. These are qualities we work hard to foster as we continue building a truly collaborative workplace. I hear your concerns about workload and compensation. The compliance industry moves at a demanding pace, and we are transparent about that reality. We need people who thrive in fast-paced environments where resources are strategically allocated to maximize impact. That said, your feedback about feeling stretched is important, and we are actively working to balance operational demands with sustainable workloads as we scale. Regarding compensation, we regularly benchmark our offerings against market standards to remain competitive. While we cannot always meet every expectation, we are committed to fair compensation aligned with the value our teams deliver. I would encourage you to connect with your manager or our Talent team if you have not already. We want to understand specific concerns and explore solutions where possible. Sovos is in a period of transformation, and that means making intentional choices about where we invest. Your perspective helps us stay grounded as we navigate that journey. We are committed to continuous improvement in how we support our people while delivering for our customers. Thank you again for your feedback. We value having you as part of our team. Best, Eva Krauss - Chief Transformation Officer

Pros

remote work, that’s it nothing else

Cons

You will do more work for no more money. This is their standard operating procedure. When someone quits or gets fired, that's just considered savings. They almost never backfill the role, so you just get to add that workload to your own. It's exhausting and feels incredibly disrespectful. · Leadership is completely checked out. Honestly, who's running this place? There's zero direction, zero vision. It feels like everyone is just waiting around for the company to be acquired. I have no idea what the strategy is, and I don't think they do either. There's no clarity, no momentum, and definitely no trust left. · Your career will stall here. Promotions junt title changes to avoid giving real raises. There's no training, no real opportunity to learn. You're on your own. The "onboarding" is basically just getting login info and then being thrown into the deep end because everyone is too burned out to train you.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback after more than five years with Sovos. I am glad remote work flexibility was valuable during your time here. I want to address a few points directly. Our strategic direction is clear and we communicate it regularly through our All Connects meetings and other forums: our vision is to transform tax and compliance into a force for growth and a core strategy to do is our evolution from point solutions to platform. We are executing against that vision, taking market share and growing in the areas that matter. We do backfill roles. In the vast majority of cases, positions are replaced when employees move on. While we may occasionally pause to reassess structure or scope, adding permanent workload without a plan to replace talent is not how we operate. When teams feel stretched, that is something I take seriously. Regarding onboarding, we provide a full-day orientation session along with pre-hire communication and follow-ups alongside functional trainings, though I recognize that the experience can vary depending on team and manager, and that is something we continue to work on. I am sorry you felt your career stalled during your time here. The reality is that Sovos is not for everyone. We find that people who are adaptable, results-driven, and collaborative in fast-paced environments succeed best here. We are making significant investments across the business, including in our Sales, Product, and Service Delivery teams, as well as AI tools to help our people feel more productive and empowered in their roles. Thank you for the contributions you made during your tenure, and I genuinely wish you well in what is next. - Colleen Schlagel, Chief Talent Officer
