International SOS

International SOS has a tagline: "Worldwide Reach. Human Touch." The company exists to provide assistance to people in need - facing either health and/or security issues while abroad for work or leisure. 

It is inspiring to be part of an organisation with this premise and there are some wonderful, very interesting people who work there. 

However, the medical and financial/business arms of the organisation are in constant opposition. The financial/business side does not listen to or respect the risk exposures that the medical side raise. It makes for a very stressful work environment with a culture in head office that is toxic and negative.

Poor wage and dont pay you for your time off i.e FIFO 

Have very picky clients who will get rid of you with no notice ....no backup from management. I was the 4th paramedic to go in a very short space of time (we cant all be bad....basically they get rid of the good ones because they want corrupt paramedics that dont treat accordingly)....I was sacked because i suggested giving morphine to a patient internally bleeding.   

Before applying ask yourself why is this company always on seek.

As an experienced nurse there is no autonomy or ongoing education. No effort is made by the company to sssist with CPD points. There is no job security and they will get rid of you if they do not like you. Overall one of the worst companies I have ever worked with. There is a culture of bullying and demeaning behaviour from management.

This company claims to care about employees safety and well-being but they don’t. The only business priorities are profits. This is the most toxic work environment I’ve ever worked in. The senior management micro- manage staff and try to control every detail of work life. There are minimal benefits and very high staff turnover. I would not recommend anyone work here. 

Education n training was unorganised and lacking, no support or feedback for improvement and they often fired people without plausible reasons... Stiff clicky culture . Poor staff morale and high turnover rates from staff being burnt out etc. 
There are some good benefits such as the gym, BBQs social life etc ..so might be good while it lasts...

Would never work for this organisation again.  Total lack of communication but expected instant agreement to attend work locations.  Extremely slow to pay for normal hours and still waiting for payment of expenses .

It’s a very stressful working environment. They are short in staff in most departments, basically working from the moment you start till you finish, there’s not even a minute for you to have a breather. Very long working hours, salary is not competitive. 

I enjoyed working with International SOS on Christmas Island and in Multiple Gas Construction camps.  Unfortunately these positions no longer exist and they don't offer consultant rates for current jobs.

It was a great opportunity to work with the company. Staffs were very friendly and the working environment was very good. However, some improvisation can be done in the management.

Their management are not very experienced with Dental but they did try to do their best for us.
Their staff liason manager was keen to accomodate us even though dental was foreign to them.
