Paradigm used to be a great place to work until the new President started working here. Google "g-yatri leaving pepsico" and you can see what she did to her previous employer. She left it a shell of its former self and cultured a highly toxic environment. The first thing she did so far at Paradigm is invent a new role within the company, Senior Vice President, and then hired her friend in that position. Her current step is laying off as many people as possible in place of her friends. Next step will be to offshore developer work. This is all so Paradigm can be corporatized into its parent company, BFS. If you are thinking about working here, wait until she leaves. Do not work here while she is here because you will be miserable. Don't take my word for it, look her up!
Otherwise, prior to her starting here, the people on my team are excellent to work with. I saw this as a company I can retire at, but with the new President here, that's no longer the case. The Vice Presidents used to be very friendly and personable, secure in their positions. Now they're cold and callous to those around them, working in fear of losing their jobs to be replaced with one of her friends. To those fellow co-workers, good luck, because you're going to be miserable.
