Pros

The office is literally the only pro. I walked in so impressed because of this deceivingly pretty office.

Cons

This was my first job out of college and I would call my dad after work sometimes telling him about my day and he would be enamored about these peoples inability to manage. It was like being back in high school. Incredibly dramatic and wildly unorganized and unfair (yes, I know life is not fair. This place was NUTS... they wouldn't even pay us the correct amount sometimes and would say that our "comp plan changed" after someone closed a large deal so that they didn't have to pay us!!). The CEO has made a name for himself in the valley (and not a good one). I remember reading the Recruiting.com and Jobing.com glassdoor reviews (his previous companies) at work one day and was in shock at how accurate they were. We all were. I quit shortly after. If you are willing to constantly kiss up to and even flirt with Aaron, you will put yourself in a good position at Paradox. If not, don't do it. I moved to an 800 person company with offices around the globe and I've seen our CEO in person more times than I saw Aaron during my time there (7 or 8 months).

Pros

The interview scheduling module and the initial candidate experience is really what hooked me. I thought "I want to work on tech like this." The individual contributors on my team and within client success were great to work with and the pay was good.

Cons

Lack of structure or consistent process across the organization. Cross-functional team cooperation and partnership were mostly poor or non-existent. I did not feel I had the tools or knowledge I needed to do my job efficiently or to the standard with which I'd been accustomed to at larger software companies. Severe lack of product documentation and what was documented was frequently out of date or you had to hunt through 13 Slack channels to find an answer. Maybe this is typical for a start up but what's sad is that it didn't have to be this way.
