Terrible - Anonymous employee Concourse Labs Employee Review

All work is done remotely

-Toxic culture, many individuals repeatedly told it’s “not a priority” by management. -Exteme micromanagement of all tasks (including multiple meetings that go in circles, constantly run over, wasting hours on what could have effectively been communicated in a few sentence email). -Ideas and suggestions are ignored unless they come from the very top, when they get desperate enough, they take ideas (and credit for the work) presented earlier and try to implement them rapidly and haphazardly after it’s far too late and the window has closed. -Executives managed to create a class-like, us vs them structure in a 20 some person company. Essentially if you weren’t an executive, you had no voice. Experience and market research-based ideas are ignored, and when executive ideas fail, the people with no voice are regularly used as scapegoats and blamed for failures. Also, management often speak condescendingly to employees (and occasionally to prospective clients). -Misleading half truths (if the statement contains any truth at all) are regularly utilized from the interview process on. Misrepresentation has become an art form. -Complete lack of transparency if you’re not an executive. -No opportunity for career growth -If you’re still insistent on working here, during the interview process, keep a record of promises or claims in writing via email. Summarize each interview in an email to the manager or executive you met with, including what was discussed, promised, or claimed and make sure it’s responded to and acknowledged by management.

This company is remote friendly.

TL; DR: I wouldn't recommend this company unless you're in dire straits. If you do get into this company, use it to prepare for interviews. Spening more than a few months here would be stunting yourself technically and financially. Overview: + The management doesn't communicate. Nobody is privy to things like how the business is doing, the direction the company is heading in, etc. outside this circle. + To make numbers up at the management level, they will garnish everything you and the team have worked on, and give credit for it to the person filling in. + Projects are outsourced to vendors. So internal teams are left doing underwhelming activities, having very little impact on their career and no impact on salary. + Increment happens alternate years. The management is reluctant on giving an increment after a year - everything is done to downplay what you have done during the year. If you manage to get an increment after a year, no amount of work done will get you an increment after two years. + Promotion happens only when someone from the team leaves. + Benefits declined from FY 2022 - FY 2023. The way this company is functioning is not how a normal company funtions - the way things are structured, make working here a trap. If you are looking to switch this is not the place, and if you end up here, it shouldn't be for more than a few months.
