Q&A With Pariveda Solutions Employees

Varies by project and role in terms of peaks and valleys of work hours. Average across our firm is 42 hours/week over many years. That includes community service hours, training, self-study and PTO. We have fkexible practices for part-time, working remote/from home, flextime, LOA, etc. Also generous PTO, sabbaticals and some family oriented activities. 6 weeks paid parental leave for new moms and dads. Moms additionslly receive FMLA leave.

Quite good for most. Average work week is 42 hours including training, PTO, holidays and community service volunteer hours.

Unique process and model is proprietary to Pariveda. We have the world’s first “safe promotion process”.

Unique process based on employee ability, not corporate need. We have a “safe career development process”, which includes promotion unlike any other company we’ve ever heard of.

3 to 4 weeks upon hire depending on level. Anyone can purchase 1 extra week or go in deficit 1 week. 1 week carries over YoY. After 5 years of service, everyone receives an additional week.

Everyone starts with at least 3 weeks PTO, plus they can take up to another week unpaid. 1 week can carry over into the next year and people can go negative up to 1 week in a given year. After 5 years, everyone receives an additional base week. Mid-level hires generally start with 4 weeks and add 1 more at 5 years. There is an additional sabbatical program for management level employees who have 5 years with the firm. People can also donate up to 40 hours per year for employees with special needs for PTO which is needed from time to time.

For me it was a 2 day process. The first day I spent ~1 hour doing a behavioural interview and then the next day I spent ~4 hours doing a mix of hands on scenario problem solving and a small technical aptitude test to show I could think through programming concepts.

Suit.

Open-style office, but you're on client site a lot which can range from everyone cramming into a conference room, to individual offices.

I usually work 42 hours a week but sometimes less.

A few on an as needed basis by mutual agreement between the firm and employee.

They listen and apply the feedback they receive from Fins

The people

Smart and driven! And, they're fun to be around
