I just visited all our global offices over the last 2 months. While there, I spent time with 1000+ employees. The reality is Sovos employees are richly diverse and passionate about out organization and our mission.
We have an audacious goal – To Solve Tax For Good. In order to achieve our goal, we need as many talented, engaged and motivated employees as possible, so we can’t afford to overlook top performers. And we have a long history of giving people challenging opportunities regardless of arbitrary criteria like direct experience or “qualifications.”
The reality of having such a deep, talented and diverse workforce is when opportunities for advancement arise (as they do often), there are several highly qualified individuals who can step into those roles. It can be competitive, and we make tough choices – choices based on a rigorous, merit-based process designed to specifically eliminate favoritism.
There is no place for sabotage here – it flies in the face of our Core Values. Folks who have that sort of attitude are not rewarded. Teamwork, diversity and camaraderie are building blocks of our Be Collaborative core value. We know we can’t hit our lofty goals if we don’t Row Together, and we will continue to build on our solid collaborative foundation.
Based on your comments, your time with Sovos did not work out. For that, I’m empathetic but glad to hear you left to find a better fit. Employees at Sovos take away a unique set of experiences, which serve them well in their career. We wish you only the best in the future.
