SOSi

All other reviews are clearly written by disgruntled employees who can't even spell right. I've had a great experience with this company, they reimbursed a lot of my training, I got a lot on the job training and got a career advancement that I didn't even expect to get in just a few years. I've moved through several different roles and if you are proactive you can do that in SOSi. The company has great benefits, immediate 401K 100% vesting schedule, great health/dental, great number of days off/PTO but lacks remote work arrangement or relaxed casual Fridays just because of the owner's perceptions. Most of the staff is really nice, very personable and easy to deal with. The professional quality of people differs - there are some gems but there are some random people too, unfortunately, sometimes the management just hangs on to those random people just for the sake of emotional attachment and continuity though they really suck at what they do and are not employable anywhere else. Because of this situation and the uneven quality of management across the company departments gems often leave so the turnover is pretty high. The company is NOT run by a foreign family. Everyone is American and has clearances, the main owner was born outside of the US, that's about it. Every department is as great as its leader, the COO is a bit intense and not often easy to work with, so some execs are able to stay and work with him, others don't. The family likes to have the headquarters in NY, however, they don't really have a business there as it is a government contractor. NY office is a huge financial and operational burden because the payroll and finance is run out of NY while the rest of other corporate departments including PMOs and billing are in VA. There is often a disconnect when people work in the next cubicle, imagine the situation with the different states. Some execs are really old and complacent, others are lazy being hired for big name companies they used to work for. Unfortunately, often there is no punishment for a bad performance, people aren't held accountable for very big mistakes or procrastination and it's a real morale issue for lower level employees. The company has a lot of entry level low paid employees and senior high paid questionable quality execs, the lack of the 'middle class' costs the company money but somehow they don't see it. Overall, I loved my time with the company and my advice is to accept the job depending on your specific offer/department circumstances.

I can not recommend this company.  While there are some wonderfully talented individuals who have worked at this company the senior leadership chruns through managers in every department and the turnover is very high with each manager lasting an average of 1 year.  This is due to the ineffective top leadership.  There is no trust established among the senior and departmental leadership and at the time of my employment the company had failed to establish an effective ethics program or transparency in their financials which is key to doing work in the government contracting space.
As a former manager in this company, reviews were conducted for every overhead employee but no direct individuals.  Once rated and reviewed the reviews went before a board of top management where the CEO often directed changes in the ratings (lowering them) for individuals under my supervision whom he had no day to day contact with.  Both merit increases and promotions were predicated on these reviews and I found the process discriminating and ineffective as it became an evaluation of how well the senior management team (specifically the CEO) liked the individual or not and not a fair assessment of performance.  I feel like this is the number one reason employees can not advance in this company or receive proper mentorship and development. 

Before considering a position with this company it is advisable to talk to past as well as present employees before accepting a position and research their reputation in the industry by talking to teaming partners, former customers, etc. before making your decision.

Working at SOSi Inc. as a linguist was a highly rewarding experience. The company fosters a supportive and collaborative environment, making every day both productive and enjoyable.

The work itself was engaging and impactful, offering opportunities to use my language skills to contribute meaningfully to important projects. The management was approachable and always willing to assist with professional development. Teamwork was emphasized, and I truly valued the camaraderie among colleagues.

SOSi also provides a well-structured platform for growth and learning, ensuring employees feel valued and appreciated. The balance between meeting high standards of performance and maintaining a fun, dynamic workplace culture made it a pleasure to come to work each day.

I highly recommend SOSi for anyone looking for a challenging yet fulfilling career in the linguistics field. It’s a place where you can grow professionally while enjoying a supportive and engaging work environment.

When I first started, I never knew who was in charge, there was several different contractors for the position but I never knew who I could speak to when there was a problem. There is an email for HR and I had emailed a few times with no responses. Didn't know what my schedule was and went in when I was able to but then got a message that someone would contact you with your set schedule, well that never happened. the communication is awful. Also the pay was good but when you start speaking to others who are doing the EXACT same thing as you and they are getting paid $4 more an hour, it is not ok. I emailed them about that as well and never got a response. I did enjoy the job and would like to continue but the lack of communication is not ok and makes me feel uneasy. We had "training" two weeks after I was hired and that was the last time I saw someone from SOSi higher ups. I am just not use to this type of work. I am use to knowing who is my supervisor and who is my manager, etc. 

Challenge accepted and mission was accomplished !! It started off a bit chaotic due to so many changes in a short period of time but it is an experience I will never forget. I was a Lead Case Manager and interacted with the unaccompanied minors and helped gather all of the pertinent documents needed for the reunification process. They were well taken care of and they got all of their needs met. It was very rewarding to see them get reunified with their sponsors. SOSI is a very good company to work for. The corporate office staff are some of the hardest working/dedicated people I have ever met. Their pay for social services was extremely generous and they offered additional monetary incentives to work on weekends. Overall it was a great experience and I would do it all over again because I believe in this mission. 

The money is good but you're often questioned and challenged inside the courtroom, though that's just part of the job. Coordinators are not always very responsive and once you've accepted a job you're pretty much on your own as if you have a day-of emergency there's not much that can be done, and you'll be penalized if you don't show. The work culture is what you make of it. Depending on where you work, there may not be an office or a dedicated space for interpreters, and it's up to you to speak to others while waiting or coordinate stuff outside of work. There aren't really any opportunities put in place by the company to meet your colleagues. Would recommend if you're not easily offended/embarrassed/stressed and are ok with no benefits. 

 Days in the life of a Spanish interpreter with SOSi could range from Individual hearings to Master calendar Hearings to periods of downtime between assignments. Flexibility and adaptability are key, as the type of work you perform may vary significantly from day to day.

Interpretations are in Immigrations Court Hearings, some VRI, and most are in person. Most judges are great people, but you might get disqualified if the judge is on a bad day or mood and loses the contract. No job security.
Traveling to Immigration Courts across the U.S. experience different cities and meet great people. 


The line staff are very nice, just often over-worked.  The company is trying to grow into a large Government contracting company, but it lacks the back-end infrastructure to handle large contractor work.  The outlook is they will adjust when they win a large contract.  Work processes and policies are still in the development stage.  Upper management has become detached from the line workforce within the past couple of years.  CEO interaction only happens during monthly coffee and conversation discussions if you are selected to participate.  The family-run business doesn't feel like a family any longer.  The business mentality has all but taken over.

I have been working with SOSI since 2016 and I never had any problem dealing with them. The management is responsive to your needs and they even provide two 24/7 hotlines one is for operational purposes and the other is for travel purposes. I provide in person interpreting for immigration courts and detention centers. They arrange all my travel and hotel stay plus car rental if needed. They let me know well in advance about these arrangement and take care of my travel preferences. At work the assignments are very well organized and conveyed in time. There has never been any lapse from their end. People are friendly and respectful and they will always communicate with you over the phone or through email in a friendly and timely manner.

As an all source intelligence analyst, I worked with a mixed personnel section of both military and civilian contractors. We worked 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. As an analyst, my scope experience was broadened significantly in updating databases for bios, producing reports, and gathering applicable information for Command Leadership assigned to the base. Our mission efforts covered a variety of topics that were applicable to Command Operations and Mission Objectives.  Every shift was unique and challenging yet rewarding with a good sense of accomplishment.
