Complete ownership of projects; Flexibility in terms of work; Great culture
|
|
Being a small team, every member has to take complete ownership of their work. I work on building customer applications, and I found that my successful contributions positively impacted the bottomline of the company (which was inspiring as well as an important responsibility to handle). Business development and sales folks are always pushing the boundaries to get new projects; over the years, there has never been a dearth of challenging work.
There is also a lot of flexibility in terms of choosing the nature of work, work hours, location (e.g. working remotely).
The team is super talented and a great work culture of mutual respect exists in the organization. If you like it here, you will probably stick on for quite long. Almost everyone I have worked with at the company (including those who chose to move on to other positions) was fantastic to work with.

Paradigm4 builds applications in collaboration with scientists and technologists at top R&D pharma companies in the world. Sometimes projects get waylaid due to internal reorganization within those companies, or market forces that are beyond the control of even those pharma giants. In those situations, some promising projects might not get sufficient exposure. Basically, Paradigm4 follows a sales driven development model, and as you can expect, such a model will have its pros (you do not develop something that the market does not want) and cons (like stated above).

Working on somet worthy
|
|
The P4 projects are all in life sciences. A lot of the work involves enabling scientists to work more effectively on cancer, genomics, and other meaningful research. I felt like everyday I did something important. Coworkers were among the best I've ever worked with.
|
P4 is a small startup just like most small startups. It's a lot of hard work; not enough hours in the day or hands to do everything that needs to be done. It has all the typical startup positives and negatives.

Disappointing end to an interesting job
|
|
Lots of very smart, friendly and helpful employees
|
Company has been trickle-funded for years, his limited their potential. Despite promises that another round of financing would be easy to find, that round cost them half of their Engineering team and almost all of equity that the employees had.

You need to provide more motivation for your small team of very talented employees in the form of a reasonable amount of equity in the company. You also need to find a way to grow the size of the team so that product features can be delivered as fast as the market demands.

Definitely not boring
|
|
Interesting problems to work on: medicine, DNA sequencing, high-performance computing. Friendly, informal and tightly-knit team. Open and honest environment. Not a lot of internal politics or infighting. Learning something new every single day.
|
Lots of hours. Riding the startup roller-coaster. Never know what the future holds.

Best Avoided
|
|
None. The association with Michael Stonebraker lends some credibility but he has little to do with the day to day.
|
Runs more like a high school science project than a company. Lots of churn. The CEO is cheap, petty and lacks the interpersonal skills needed to build relationships inside and outside the company.
The product is buggy and isn't really open source even though they claim it is. Smoke and mirrors.

Kind of a hopeless case but seriously, replace yourself with leaders who have an understanding of how to run a company in the 21st century and who have at least some social skills to motivate and lead.
