      Pros

      Free tea, sometimes free booze, maybe even a taco. The office is really cool... but its an open office so get used to being up in everyone's business all day. Get noise cancelling earphones or negotiate WFH asap. But it is super cool if you have the free time to enjoy it. The parties are awesome, go to them.

      Cons

      I left this job, feeling like I failed. I came in and gave it all I had. I was there early, worked late, took work home, did everything I could to learn there applications, how they work, I pushed myself to my spiritual, physical, and emotional limits. And one day after months I woke up and decided I didn't want to go in anymore. I didn't make one friend. I felt like the team I was hired to be on didn't want me after week 1. I felt like a bum. I took a contract gig with another company in town after leaving. Day one I was already bringing value to my team. Week two one of my teammates shook my hand and told me she was so happy I was working there as a good fit was hard to find. By week 4 I had made two work friends that I think will be connections for life. I was a top performer again. So I figured that something was just wrong at Paradigm, a bad fit. Then Paradigm had a workplace shooting. Super horrible, but a thing that happened at a small company that broke my spirit. I no longer think I was the failure. I hope things have gotten better.

      Pros

      - Growing company - Cool office (massive TV that plays sport games and video games, ping pong table) - Decent pay and benefits (outings, free food quite often, 401k and the usual insurance stuff, flexible hours)

      Cons

      - Steep learning curve for those without experience with Paradigm software. - The company can't seem to keep up with itself right now. The services team is too swamped with work to focus on training new employees. The company seems aware of this - they've hired 20% more employees since January - but it takes many months or even a year for new hires to become self sufficient so this problem might last a while longer.

      Thank you very much for your feedback! We do have a pretty cool office here! :) We are constantly looking at how best to onboard our new employees. In December we started a four week comprehensive training program, which has made a big impact. We will continue to evaluate & look at additional ways to provide our Paradigm family with the training & tools they need for success. We are excited to be growing!

      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.
