Pros
There are some very talented peers I work with on a daily basis that have helped me grown tremendously.
Cons
There is no leader or vision at Concord. Concord was purchased by a private equity company a few years ago. Since then there have been more rounds of layoffs than I can count. They quietly took away the employer 401k match. They no longer treat bench time as an opportunity to grow. If you hit the bench you might as well start packing up your things because you'll be layed off shortly there after. We keep losing more and more clients because we stopped doing what made Concord great to begin with.....doing the right thing. Concord used to have values by which decisions were made. Now the only thing that matters is the bottom line. Concord also strings people in regards to its annual bonus. Last year some bonus' from the year before weren't paid out until August and the communication around it was super poor. Speaking of communication, there basically isn't any from leadership. We'll get a 6 minute video of Chris Baker talking a lot while simultaneously saying nothing of value at all about every 6 months. Florin doesn't seem to have any plan or desire to lead. There are some middle managers I consider better leaders than our CEO. There is also the issue of raises and promotions. Concord used to give raises to those who earned them and raises that reflected that. Ever since they were bought by private equity, it's almost impossible to get a promotion and if you do you won't get a raise that reflects that. What a dumpster fire.
