Office Environment:
While gross compensation matters, the intangibles are just as important to long-term satisfaction and appreciation. Beyond salary increases, bonuses and equity awards, we recognize growth through promotions and title advancement, and we offer financial rewards with significant company milestones. Culturally, we provide lunches on-site, commuter subsidies, and contribute to home internet / cell phone expenses. We offer professional and personal growth training and encourage participation and attendance at industrial conferences, and we welcome face-time in the office for our remote team members. Relationships matter and we foster the personal side with regular social events, celebrations for spacecraft launches and other events and milestones, and quality company SWAG.
Our company values our culture of ownership, equity and transparency. We seek to uphold these standards in hiring the best talent from the broadest of backgrounds. We are committed to ensuring that our employees are empowered in what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. We encourage all of our staff to ask difficult questions, challenge management at all levels, and to embody our values, our Mission, and the whole grand plan. We hold each other accountable for a transparent recruiting process, advancing candidates based on talent and skill. We incorporate and internalize the best habits / tools / practices that our staff individually offer. During the interview process our hiring managers and their teams have the final decision, with management input.
Ask our staff! Throughout the six-year history of our company, none of our full-time hires has left OSK and we offer many compelling reasons for talented individuals to seek out and join OSK. Obviously, space tech is sexy and our hyperspectral technology is exciting. Our solutions to industry pain points and global challenges are promising, powerful, and far-reaching. Our business model is solid and we have an improbably successful record of recruiting and retaining top talent.
The reasons one might join a company aren’t the same for why they would stay. Since the start, OSK management established a culture of transparency, trust, respect, honesty, candor, and patience. Many companies preach these values but at OSK we live them every day, both amongst ourselves and with our clients, suppliers and partners. Every time. We encourage risk-taking, combined with good judgment. We encourage decision-making and taking responsibility for outcomes. We hold each other to the highest standards. Rather than arbitrary rules and strictures, we prefer basic principles and flexibility in light of the circumstances. Even as we deploy resources to advance our Mission, develop talent and embrace our staff, we meticulously steward our finances as though they are our own. Because we each hold equity ownership in the company.
