      Pros

      There are so many organizations that say the same thing : "we put our employees first, we strive to be the best, we believe in executing with excellence, committed to transparency..." At Paradigm all of this is true - how refreshing to work for an organization that walks the talk!!

      Cons

      If you are afraid of hard work, meaningful challenges and fast growth, this is not the place for you!

      Advice to Management

      Continue in your commitment to your team, your principles and your clients - this will pave the road to continued success.

      Pros

      Amazing people and energy in the company, have never been happier where I work before. The company has a focused direction and goal - they are willing to invest in it's people and processes to deliver on it.

      Cons

      This company is not for people who are afraid of hard work, but the works is rewarding for sure. Constant learning is a must, not a con so much as just a necessity and the company helps with it.

      Advice to Management

      Keep up the great work!

      Pros

      Flexibility, work from home option, competitive salary, laid back atmosphere. It's about the quality of the work not micro management. Good team where everyone helps each other out. Awesome CEO.

      Cons

      Lack of communication from managers and poor training.

      Advice to Management

      Take more time to train new hires to retain people for longer. Be more transparent with employees.

      Pros

      - Team atmosphere - genuinely nice people to work with
      - Lots of variation in work - it's never boring
      - Big focus on making improvements for everyone!

      Cons

      - Sometimes too much work (partly the industry, part poor planning)
      - Strategy isn't always clear or sometimes changes -
      - Lots of opportunities to share information between teams more

      Advice to Management

      Management changes in the last year have been really good ones and well received by the teams - keep at it!

      I worked at Paradigm Quest full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Fun people, good benefits
      Good place to start off and get experience
      laid back atmosphere

      Cons

      Not much room for growth, not a lot of communication with management and employees. A lot of polices and rules to remember for underwriting, audit process is not good.

      Advice to Management

      Hire managers who know what they are doing not just because. When people are new hires, give them adequate training, shadowing for a few days is not good training.

      Pros

      I guess beer cart Fridays.

      Cons

      They have no process or structure. When you are working with mortgages, it is important to have a good process in order to have the deal completed on time. Also the underwriters did not get along with the business managers, they were always having problems. Too much politics, just way too much. The job itself was way too demanding. People would go home and do work, even on the weekends.

      Advice to Management

      Get new management and implement proper process!!!!

      I worked at Paradigm Quest full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      People who you work with are great.
      Beer and snacks on Fridays in the summer and last Friday of the month outside of summer months.

      Cons

      Management.
      Turnaround is like a nonstop turnstile.

      Advice to Management

      Listen to your employees. They know what's best. Management doesn't always know what it takes to complete tasks and projects.
