Pros

The people are great. It's a fast-paced work environment that gives opportunity for growth. Company events are great, especially any where you get to see/get to know your teammates in person.

Cons

Let me just say that I love what I do and the people I work with. This is just my observation and criticism as someone who hasn't been here for years and years. That being said, I'm seeing a trend with employees being overworked neaely every week and little to no benefits that come out of it. It's great that the company is growing and thriving, and that we're having to catch up in terms of hiring more people, but if that's the case, then it's management who's reaping the rewards, not the foundational employees working 50-60 hours a week to make the software look great for the end user. It's a shame that so many experienced employees tend to leave because they can get paid 20-30% more somewhere else, sometimes even fairly close and within the same state. Paradigm, I know you can do better. If you're missing the lower end of industry standard pay by more than 20% and people are having to get a second job just to support themselves, I think you have some work to do.

We agree that work life balance is important, and while what the means can vary a bit by team, the majority of Paradigm employees work between 40-45 hours per week. If you'd be open to chatting more-please reach out to us.

Pros

A Really great, relaxed culture. Understands value of remote work. Work life balance is a core value as far as I can tell. Paradigm has one thing that very few companies have which is they do genuinely reward and recognize people who put effort forward and care with further opportunities and compensation.

Cons

The pay is middling for this type of job but the low level of stress + culture of rewarding effort can mitigate that. Raises are not amazing but if you shine you can get promoted to a better role and pay bracket.

Pros

Company culture as a whole. Many of the long time employees are recognized and valued greatly by management and HR.

Cons

A lot of changes quickly that will most likely come back and bite them. New leadership is so AI and technology focused that they are skipping crucial steps. Tons of restructuring and getting rid of quality people because they staffed them in roles that they seem "redundant" now.
