      Pros

      You can work remotely for some roles, and they have a talent for hiring great people you can learn from. This is a great place to work if you plan to leave in two years or less or are family planning and anticipate taking parental leave; staying any longer will result in frustration due to a lack of growth opportunities and merit-based pay increases. If you can make it three years, you will become fully vested in your 401k which is nice.

      Cons

      There is no growth here. They overutilize top talent and do not compensate based on their value. Working here is a bait and switch from what you're told when you're hired. You are rewarded with compliments and more work. Extremely cliquey. You will notice the demographic of managers and leadership is all the same. No meaningful modus operandi for anything. This company does a great job of tricking you into believing they are people-focused but solely focused on dollars and cents.

      Pros

      Small company and you're not just a number — If you're into that.

      Cons

      What you're told when you interview with Paradigm is nothing like what working at Paradigm is like. They put out the "flexible" vibes but middle management micro manages and tries to bully employees with work and passive aggressive behavior. When I interviewed, they pushed the fact about the company pushes tons of alcohol on employees at their "gathering". Manager was super unprofessional during interview and giggled the entire time. At some point in the interview she asked me, "If you could be a tree... any tree... what kind of tree would you be?" I wasn't quite sure what the point of this was and perhaps this whole thing should have been a red flag to run. They have no sense of organization or utilize sprints for work. Feels very chaotic and siloed between departments. I mentioned to UX manager I wasn't happy and rather than asking how she could retain an employee, she was quick to get an attitude and push employees out. Very low pay for the industry, lack of perks, and there's an overall sense here that you should just feel lucky as an employee to be working remote. Overall, feels like they expect a lot from employees for absolutely nothing in return.

      We are sorry you didn't have a good experience here. To be fair, you only stayed about a week and a half, and you were still in our onboarding program. We realize our onboarding program can be a lot, but we think it is really important to invest in the onboarding and training of our employees so that they understand who Paradigm is and what we do. For clarity our first day of onboarding consists of; a video tour of the office, an brief HR meeting, a meeting with your Manager, an IT orientation, a lunch with your manager, HR orientation, Confluence orientation (think intranet) and a legal overview. We think these are pretty critical first day things. As the role you were in was a creative role, the plant question was meant to understand your creative tendencies. Again, at the end of the day, we want everyone to have a good experience at Paradigm and we are sorry that you didn't find that here.
