Vantaggi
Responsive! I left a review for a company that Consor acquired a while back. The Consor Chief People Officer left me a response about how to address my issues. One of my issues was with professional development. They literally sent out a survey to all staff from our previous company about how they can increase employees' professional development. WOW! My manager is awesome. It makes a big difference if the person you report to finds ways for you to grow every week and works with others to make sure you are situated to do you best work. The company's resume is solid - the legacy company I was from has many skilled engineers that can help mentor you. Many great projects have been delivered and there are many strong relationships with clients. The company is building culture with fun activities at work and after work. I have been given opportunities to work on projects that I really enjoy. If you want to take your career in a direction, the company is the right size and adequately diversified so you can work to achieve your goals. Other pros: fair compensation, great healthcare, nice 401K, paid parental leave, flexible on teleworking, flexible on schedules, no expectation to go over 40 hours per week.
Svantaggi
I think Consor has had a bit of a hard time adapting to the engineer shortage in my region since 2020. The company was fairly conservative in my opinion and has had some issues with retention in my region in the last couple of years. They have worked to address this recently with surveys, workshops, programs, adjustments, etc. I think the company is headed in a good direction now. Fairly common in our industry but OT is paid as strait time and only on billable hours over 40. To get to the stage of building Consor from many smaller companies, a little over 50% of Consor is owned by a investor group. The rest of the owners are employee owners. You need to get 40 hours in a week rather that 80 in two weeks, so you can't flex out your schedule between two weeks.
