Pros

First of all, let me say my view is researched and I am 8 months into my time with this company. I was very careful about picking the company I wanted to work for next when I was searching for my next role. I landed on Shift Paradigm and saw myself as a Shifter the more and more I learned about this company. Why? Because I could stand out without being dependent on others not standing out to shine. As a person, I wanted to thriving and glow, but I also didn't want to be surrounded by people who were perform just to the minimum or were participating in quiet quitting to make my efforts seem exceptional. Iron sharpens iron. That environment would just kill my own personal sense of passion at work. At Shift Paradigm, I can be myself. My best self. In fact, I would be fostered to bringing that forward each and every day. Because the values matched my own values. I saw this come out in the people that interviewed me and on the company page and knew my decision was right. Since then, while I've had some highs and some lows (rough economic times all around), I don't regret my choice to come work here. As a non-traditional human worker (LBTQIA+), not only am I valued for my differences but the company presents me just as I am to the clients we work for with a sense of pride. Is any company perfect? No, but Shift does approach the problems they face collaboratively. Leadership works hard to empowering people to self-organize around the change with a listening ear, and has lead with a sense of humility in the months I have been here. If you are sick of the finger pointing, and want to work collaboratively to solve problems for fellow humans, Shift Paradigm is home.

Cons

This isn't a rinse and repeat company. The company offers strategy in unclear times, and practices that themselves, so no one solution or process is always correct. This happens inside the company as well as out. Exciting if you are a creative mind, but if you are follower and only want to punch in and out without contributing further, Shift just operates at a different level than that.

Pros

Lots of room to create your own structure and process. Respectful that employees are people. The organization actually cares about DEI, operationally, not just as lip service. Tons of opportunity for learning. Thoughtful CEO, who communicates clearly.

Cons

It is a difficult industry space for an org to enter, and I don't know anyone who does full service consultancy + agency particularly well. If you're gritty and you like creating your own structure, this can also be a pro.

Pros

You will be a fool to seek any pros here. It's not a decent workplace for people who want clear boundaries and hope to enjoy some work-life balance. These awful people will never respect the lines you draw.

Cons

The work expectations were ridiculously high. Employees were expected to be available 24/7, work on multiple projects, and meet client expectations while balancing poorly assigned deadlines. It was a struggle to show up every day when you knew they expected too much from you. It was exhausting to try to reason with the arrogant leadership that did nothing but pile horrible expectations. They also didn't give me enough room to grow. My learning stopped, and I was doing boring work for months. There was no career growth, either. Overall, it was a horribly frustrating experience, and I escaped before I could be trapped here for long.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that you felt overwhelmed and unsupported during your time with us. Your feedback about workload expectations, work-life balance, and development opportunities is taken seriously. We recognize that unrealistic deadlines and unclear boundaries can lead to burnout, and this is not the environment we want to create. Our new leadership is working to actively address these issues. Again, thank you for the feedback.
