Shift Paradigm reviews

There are more cons than pros. During my 4 years at Shift Paradigm I never once met or talked to anyone in the c-suite. For a company that focuses on feedback and welcomes an open door policy its truly discouraging and creates the mentality of "us" vs. "them." The them of course being anyone in delivery. There was constant fear of another rift and constant worry of job security. There is very limited room for growth and no opportunity for career pathing.

Recent loss of three big clients and merging companies led to layoffs which has been horrible- although the company is quickly gaining new clients these layoffs and changes are still quite a shock to the culture and organization Remote work (yes also a pro) has led to a disconnection in people, teams and culture at all levels of the org. I’m shocked at how mean people are due to no in-person interaction. This needs to stop. People need to think about others and company not just their own remote self and one person opinions - we are not contractors Project diversity (yes also a pro) is tough sometimes due to having to learn/do simultaneously People are assigned to multiple clients which is fine to a point, but it’s hard to work on 4 projects/clients/tech due to the many needs and mental switching
