* The caliber of middle management isn't always as high as it should be, but the company seems to be making efforts to improve on this
* In general, expectations are very high. Environment tends to be flexible and results oriented, but the results expected can be steep and it isn't a place for people who want an "easy" job.

Concur is an environment where you have to earn advancement by going far above and beyond the expectations of your job, regardless of experience or tenure. That said, the company makes a strong effort to recognize and promote such high performers. However, just doing your job well isn't enough - which is likely the root of some of the unsatisfied comments about advancement on this site.
* Compensation philosophy isn't consistent, some business groups pay better than industry average while others pay at or below industry average.
