SLT and Managers Need To Do Better

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Coworkers are all very brilliant and passionate people to work with. It’s one of the few reasons people stay longer than they should. No one wants to abandon their amazing team members.

Cons

Senior Leadership Team doesn’t know what they’re doing, and is responsible for the current struggles of Paragon. Work laptops and are underpowered, forcing less than optimal workflow productivity. We don’t have the necessary software licenses to do work seamlessly. Paragon is always touting their benefits and compensation, but is not as competitive as other firms. ESOP program is a joke. CEO’s communication/PR skills are lacking. Business Development VP lacks vision and contemporary marketing skills. Our managers are really great, but are overworked and undertrained. Senior leaders don’t take advantage of more “current” and impact-making opinions of their employees.

Pros

sabbattical and work from home policies

Cons

Lack of accountability on senior management, all the way to the top. Its not enough to "engineer cool things". Seems the companies mission is its vendetta against World View. A lot of fundamental issues within the organization that are ignored. A hard look needs to be taken at who is currently in key positions. Turnover is outragous. Its says a lot that a company is in business for 25 years, yet its growth is only 45 employees. The Board of Directors is also compromised.

Pros

The individual contributors are all a great set of people trying to achieve a common end goal. You will find good people within the teams.

Cons

-Lack of planning and foresight into business sustainment or growth. Business development does not exist; chasing proposals without cohesive vision does. -Grew too fast without a plan on how to adapt process or procedures to the changing landscape -Questionable financial decisions have led to multiple layoffs with little change in operations to show lessons learned from the decisions made to put Paragon in the financial spot they are in -Continually underbid work and then blame gets placed on executing team for being overrun -Lack of accountability starting from the top of the organization all of the way through -Whole organization is completely disconnected which causes a lot of internal tension -Overall lack of training and tools to efficiently execute on programs
