Pros

Talented and well-connected executive leadership High-growth, exciting environment Collaborative spirit Roles are largely self-directed We're taking on a bloated, $20B, mired-in-mediocrity industry Engaged, knowledgeable investors

Cons

Most roles don't exist until the hire is made, so you have to be comfortable finding your own way

We love the title of your review, it really sums up what we try to embody as a fast-paced startup. Like you, we find the autonomy of many roles here very exciting! But as you mentioned, it's definitely not for everyone. Having self-starters like you on the ground floor of our team is important to us. Self-driven leaders are our secret sauce to taking on that massive $20B industry! We agree - we need more developers to join! We have many positions open for this and would love referrals.

Pros

This is a great place to be if you have lots of ideas and love problem solving. There is a lot of independence to explore the areas you find interesting and to contribute to a product that you can be proud of. This company values both collaboration and independence and really empowers the employees to make important decisions themselves while providing support when needed. Sigma also treats each employee as a person first and that creates a company where each person feels valued. We also champion caffeination and the company provides many different forms of it!

Cons

There aren't many rules or best practices for how things get done, but the flip side of that is that we get to help make and change those as we grow!

We're really proud of the product too :) This review hit home with us because achieving a state where everyone feels respected and valued is always a challenge for a small company growing incredibly fast. We love hearing that you're feeling right at home here. Thank you for helping us build the culture our team deserves.

Pros

I love my job. There is always so much going on, and every week is fast paced and exciting. Because the company is so young, I am able to interact with all members of the company daily and really feel like my voice is heard. As a group, we have a very strong focus on building a product that we are proud of and that we want to be users of ourselves. This mentality has built a strong foundation for a team with strong work ethics and no room or desire for egos getting in the way. Mentorship has also been awesome here. I started as a fairly junior engineer, and over the course of my time here I have received guidance and support from every member of our engineering team. This includes our two awesome founders, who take the time and care to work with all of their employees towards growing a great team and building a product that we can all be proud of.

Cons

For me, there really haven’t been any cons. If working at a startup is not for you, then right now, Sigma probably is not the right fit. But if you want to work at a young company, then any growing pains are worth the opportunity you will find here.

We love that you love your job. Need we say more? That first line you wrote is everything to us. We think it's so rare that people genuinely, 100% love what they do, so Sigma culture is engineered to help everyone achieve their own personal career zen. Thank you for embracing the opportunity to learn from your mentors. In a startup like ours, you get out what you put in and it sounds like you've been all in!
