Vantaggi
The company began well enough, with a small relocation assistance benefit (I should have known something was wrong when it was cut in half from what was originally stated). When the contract started, several high-level management members came from the States and introduced themselves.
Svantaggi
The company began a re-compete bid for the current contract as the incumbent, the proposal team used the current member's great work ethic, resumes, and reputation with the client to win, as well as a whopping reduction in pay and benefits to under-bid the other companies, and by cutting some of the benefits the client SPECIFICALLY asked to be offered. Employees were not told of these cuts for months, denying the employees the chance to begin to make other arrangements. When finally told, it was in a hostile, confrontational manner by a new Project Manager. When a VP visited, he offered a rare, honest conversation with the employees (without the Project Manager's presence), including some of the problems that sometimes occur with the finance/payroll dept. The PM informed the employees that the new contract was approved and everything was finalized, but several weeks later the client informed us otherwise - SOSi had lied to us again. When this apparent disparate view was brought up, we were then told that payroll had made a mistake, we had been paid too much, and now we had to pay back (in ADDITION to our new paycut) the amount overpaid due to SOSi's payroll dept error, two weeks before Christmas. Rather than accept their error, they are passing it on to the same employees who earned their stockholders the money for their paychecks and bonuses, and pay the overhead members of staff. This company has shredded any credibility they may have had with both the current employees and the client they serve.
