Pros

SOSi International is a great company to work in if you enjoy challenging opportunities and thrive in a fast pace, complex, business environment. Great leadership and wonderful co-workers -- everyone pulls their weight and works together as a team.

Cons

The defense contracting business is tough right now so expect to work hard if you come here.

Pros

SOSi is privately held, and the leadership genuinely cares about the business and the employees who are committed to making it successful. It's a lot of work, and there are times where some of the challenges we face seem like they are impossible to tackle, but that is balanced with competitive compensation, a rich benefits plan, immediate 401k vesting and matching, as well as a more robust Paid Time Off plan than our competitors. The culture is fast-paced, and rapidly changing, which is exciting for people who thrive in those types of environments.

Cons

SOSi sometimes gets a bad rap from former employees who didn't like our fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. The expectations are high, but the leadership never asks anyone to do something they don't or wouldn't do themselves.

Pros

Average benefits Immediate vesting in 401K Pay is above industry standard (but absolutely not worth it)

Cons

1. Corporate nepotism - family owned and family run. 2. Top executives and leadership are mainly prior military with little to no business insight or contracting experience. 3. Small company cannot see past their small company mentality. 4. ZERO work life balance. 5. Micromanagement to a degree I have never before witnessed. Routine decisions shoot up the organization through VP level and CEO for approval. Suffocating and smothering individuals hired for their expertise, no room or freedom to accomplish the job you were hired to do. 6. Constant attrition and turnover throughout corporate offices. 7. Business Development is a colossal failure. No new business, always grandiose dreams and plans with no results. 8. Poor decisions seem to be predictable with no accountability at corporate level. 9. Poor Director level staffing, most department heads are performing at positions higher than their capabilities. 10. Personnel decisions have left the organization open to litigation. Culture and Values of the organization are very toxic. 11. The problems begin with the CEO and the culture he has created and allowed to persist.
