Careers at Paragon

Our Values

Our Company Values are intended to provide a framework for decision-making and are directly applicable to our daily work at Paragon. When assessing a project, initiative, or approach - we consider if it aligns with these values.

Customer-centric

• We believe that our laser focus on customers allows us to create the most innovative product and solutions

• We believe that customer voices matter more than ideals

• We deepen our empathy by listening to customers and consider the most direct solution to their problems

High ownership

• We align on objectives and give individuals the ownership to determine the best approach and execute

• We bias towards action - identifying problems is not enough, we expect individuals to take ownership to solve it

• We believe ownership promotes accountability - we own the results, success or fail

• We believe in a results-oriented approach to everything; we value output over input

Confidence without ego

• “Strong convictions, weakly held”

• We execute on our beliefs with determination, but remain open to our assumptions being challenged

• We can disagree and commit - if the owner has high conviction, we don’t need consensus to move forward

Iteration

• “If it’s perfect, you shipped too late”

• We believe in a minimum-viable approach to everything

• We approach every opportunity as an experiment and find the fastest path to feedback?

• We are not afraid of unknown territory – we have the freedom to fail and learn from our failures

• We believe everything at Paragon is a work in progress and should be improved over time

Transparency

• We believe in creating a culture of mutual respect that promotes honest and direct communication

• We can respectfully disagree and work together to reach the best solution, or disagree & commit

• Startups are hard; being transparent about our challenges helps us build a more cohesive and efficient team

• We believe that candid feedback accelerates learning and career development
