Not Good

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good pay, Some cool tech, some great people.

Cons

Horrifically benefits (but they might being trying to right that disaster). 2 weeks (use it or lose it) vacation until year 15.... Yes, I said year 15. Was never a growth company for the last 15 years, so expect layoffs. Cronyism is bad due to the young, inexperienced and narcissistic leadership. Several instances laying people off and then telling them they changed their minds several days later.

Terrible place to work

Pros

Some of the people and benefits are decent. However the good people eventually leave. I have never seen a revolving door spin so fast!

Cons

They put people in management positions who have no experience and no interpersonal skills. It's all about who you know rather than what you know or how much experience you have. The manager who runs Dev/OPS is a joke and a know it all. He has no personality and talks about everyone behind their back. A lot of the Mgmt team are clueless on how to run an IT shop not to mention they are very unprofessional. My advice is to run the other direction if you're considering working here. There is no working from home and less of it is an emergency or an exception. They still operate like 1966 when the company started.

Pros

The people over all are nice and easy to get along with. Also, the pay is great...

Cons

No work life balance. Lack of innovation/keeping up with the times, lack of talent, no future career opportunities (lack of mobility), very political, no cutting edge technology...

Pros

The company focuses on OTT video streaming which is a fastly growing market. Very engineering oriented company, many engineers have been there for over 30 years. Very good engineering team, very smart and nice team mates. Though relatively small in size, this company is very deep into technology, owns its own flavor of Linux, file system, video streaming server, caching solution.

Cons

Need to hire more software engineers and QAs. Need better office space, Duluth headquarter is too old. Benefits can be better.

Pros

Concurrent has some really good people. The product offering is strong. Large domestic customer base and expanding international potential.

Cons

Leadership commoditizes workers. No raise without promotion, so very top heavy organization. This creates a short staffed working class, so expect to work more than 40 hours on average with no reward unless you are connected. HR prides themselves on "worst in class" benefits which doesn't attract top level talent or maintain existing employees. Since this is critical in a small/medium sized company, Concurrent is destined for meritocracy at best.
