Shift Paradigm reviews

Layoffs are never pretty, and never go over easy. But in the cases I've seen I believe there is an employee first approach that tries desperately to avoid layoffs. The careful balance of billable hours to available workforce is a moving target for all consultant based companies and I believe SP leadership has handled this well over the past 2 years. Unlike previous experiences at other companies, it's not always the ground level employee hitting the chopping block, executive leadership has been held accountable as well.

Some of the worst leadership I've seen anywhere. Everyone in the C-Suite is clearly in over their heads. They have some decent people in the lower levels of senior leadership, but many of those are recent promotions. CEO mentions poor performance in company meetings, but seems to take no responsibility for it. Significant amounts of gaslighting from leadership (see the comments replying to glassdoor reviews). Those working in delivery were regularly made to feel bad for not billing enough hours, while sales was regularly praised for selling projects designed to fail. Revenue is down over 50% and leadership seems to exclusively blame "the economy." Company is so desperate to sell anything they take unreasonable deals and let clients get away with whatever they want, then blame delivery teams when projects go over budget or deliver lower quality work. No raises or regular promotions in the last 2 years, though they did recently convert bonus to base salary. Good luck getting promoted if you're not a white woman.
