Not the greatest place to be

Pros

Work from home options, flexible hours

Cons

Focus was on billing so it felt like you were nickel and diming customers. Workload was alright but generally was too light and varied greatly. Not a lot of room for growth, especially once you reach the max tier for your position. Benefits package was sub par. There were not enough paid time off days, no sick pay, no tuition reimbursement, and they only match 50% for 401K. Medical and dental package was decent. Overall not very competitive compared to the Madison area. Training is non-existent at this organization, and depending on the team you are on, you do not receive a lot of support during the learning process.

Thank you for your feedback. Allowing flexible work schedules is something that we think is important for our employees work life balance. As an industry standard in software development and services, billing of time & materials is a commonly used practice, and we do our best to ensure we bill our customers fairly for the time we spend servicing them. Our number one focus at Paradigm is on our customer’s success. Thank you for your feedback on our benefits package; this is something we are constantly evaluating to determine what the best package is for our employees. Our time off is in an overall bucket, which includes vacation and sick time, so that you can use it in a way that fits your situation best. In December we began a new comprehensive on-boarding training program that we have heard very positive feedback about. We will continue to enhance this to provide support & growth for our employees.

Pros

Culture is generally great. Entreprenuerial minded and forward thinking. Free coffee and Tea

Cons

There is no training plan, some managers are really bad, time time tracking and billable time is something I personally didn't like.

Great company with caveats

Pros

Incredibly friendly co-workers who go out of their way to establish relationships away from work. Lot's of out of work activities such as grill outs, scavenger hunts, employee parties. Very cool workspace

Cons

The work life balance is hard. Because the company is so focused on billable hours, you often find yourself working extra to meet your goals. Time spent learning about flows of products, assisting with the fix of software bugs, or reworking issues are not billable to the customers, but often eats up your time. To make up for this non-billable time, you find yourself putting in 9-10 hour days often. Often times too many things are promised during the sales cycle on too short of timelines, which often creates chaos and stress down the line.
