Pros

Mostly good people, good opportunities if you are liked by the OG LMD crew

Cons

Unless you are well known to upper management, you don't matter. This company went from a small, family-like agency to a large corp only focused on sales.

Thank you for your time in giving this feedback. We recognize that this response is delayed, but we have been working diligently to fix many of the issues you mentioned above. We have regular Ask Me Anything meetings with the CEO, Liz, and many good conversations have been had. We have conducted an organizational-wide survey and have task teams working to implement new initiatives. Work will be ongoing as we value our employees and the work they do for our customers.

Pros

The people on my direct team were great. The majority of my coworkers were very kind, helpful and intelligent.

Cons

This company started off as a great place to work, but the executives and new CEO have destroyed it. Just take a look at how the Glassdoor ratings have steeply and rapidly declined. All the good employees are bailing as quickly as possible. Clients are leaving as well. The new CEO is so nepotistic that it became a running joke among employees at the company. She hired her friends from a previous workplace, so any valid criticisms or concerns never broke their inner circle. The way they treat their employees is disgusting. The salaries here are below market value, especially on the Canadian side. Bonuses were touted as a major perk of the salary to offset this but in December 2022 the bonus (which was a significant amount of money for people, especially during the holidays) was revoked at the last minute with barely an apology. It was seriously sickening. The work life balance is not good, and the culture is not supportive. Shift Paradigm is going down and I would stay far, far away from that sinking ship.

It is never fun to hear someone did not have a positive experience working for SP, but we very much appreciate your time and will reflect on your feedback. We are open to change and are certainly willing to learn where perhaps we could have approached things differently. We have had some tough times in the past few months as all companies have, but we are confident about our direction and the opportunities ahead. We wish you success in whatever is next for you in your career.

Pros

Just The tech people are good

Cons

Everything bad one can think of. The managment is extremely unsupportive and they are inhuman towards employees health. They asked me to resign when I fell sick after 6 months of no leave.
