Pros

There's a good health insurance plan, which is great because with all that stress and unpaid overtime, you're doubling your risk of a heart attack. Salaries would be only slightly sub-par if employees were actually working a 40-hour work week. Since WTS gets lots of practice in this area, they're great at picking out new hires. Employees are often bright creative hard workers who are passionate about what they do. Just don't get too attatched to your awesome co-workers, because they won't be there for long.

Cons

CEO thrives on conflict and a "pants on fire" level of urgency. Rules by fear and intimidation, threating to fire people if customer expectations aren't met. Since sales department often makes unrealistic promises, it's virtually guaranteed that that the company will let down their customers. And because of all the threats, employees are hesitant to take responsibility for projects, productivity is down despite long hours, and everyone is scrambling from one emergency to another, throwing each other under the bus in the process. Obviously, this results in an extremely high rate of turnover.

Pros

A Really great, relaxed culture. Understands value of remote work. Work life balance is a core value as far as I can tell. Paradigm has one thing that very few companies have which is they do genuinely reward and recognize people who put effort forward and care with further opportunities and compensation.

Cons

The pay is middling for this type of job but the low level of stress + culture of rewarding effort can mitigate that. Raises are not amazing but if you shine you can get promoted to a better role and pay bracket.

Pros

Company culture as a whole. Many of the long time employees are recognized and valued greatly by management and HR.

Cons

A lot of changes quickly that will most likely come back and bite them. New leadership is so AI and technology focused that they are skipping crucial steps. Tons of restructuring and getting rid of quality people because they staffed them in roles that they seem "redundant" now.
