Pros

Free Lunch Some friendly people

Cons

- Sigma is a con. "Spectacular growth" propped up by high customer acquisition costs and cash burn. - Engineering managers can be quite immature. - Very sexist. - Lacks diversity. - User understanding is minimal - A toxicity that manifests itself in a passive-agressive way. - Solutions to all problem, cut everyone. - Unfair reviews based on hearsay. - Extremely poor product group - Eng leadership is very limited, - Leadership not held accountable, if so many people cut, then who made the bad hires? Or is management just bad

I'm sorry we weren't the right place for you - but as we said before we always acknowledge that our company may not be for everyone. To repeat from earlier responses it is absolutely true that we treat our team like adults - that definitely means that we hold a high bar for performance (across the entire team -everyone from interns to Senior Leaders is held to the same performance bar). We are unapologetic that we want not only the best talent but we also want the best talent that is hungry for more - as you will know those people are consistently very successful here. And the proof is in the pudding - having enjoyed consistent (and real!) triple digit growth for the last 4 years those truths will remain true! We will continue to welcome people to Sigma that believe in what we believe in so if that's you we want to hear from you!

Pros

Good health benefits, time off is encouraged

Cons

Everything is wrong here. Number one thing being that upper management is full of middle aged men who are not open to employee feedback and on a power trip. Women are looked down to and there is a lack of diversity and inclusion company-wide. Promotions are usually slotted for men before women. Management is extremely scatter brained with ideas and there is zero organization involved in decision making efforts.

I'm sorry we weren't the right place for you - but we acknowledge that our company may not be for everyone. Let's talk about who we are - It's true that we always strive to be the best in everything that we do and it's also true that we believe that winning matters. It's true that we move fast and make fast decisions. It's true that we believe strongly in working together in the office. It's true that we have a high bar for performance and that we expect everyone that works at Sigma to be accountable for their goals (everyone from the interns to the leadership team). Having enjoyed consistent triple digit growth for the last 4 years those truths will remain true and we will continue to welcome people to Sigma that believe in what we believe in. But there are also things in your comments that are not true - what is not true is that we are not committed to diversity or that promotions are somehow reserved for one group of people over another - I’m sorry that you felt that that was your experience but that is not and never will be the reality. Of course like any company we know we are not perfect - we move fast and while we don't always break things I’m sure that we miss things. But we are growth focused on more than just our financial goals - as you know one of our core Operating Principles is to Optimize for Learning because we believe that we can always be better I'm sorry that we weren't right for you but we will always be honest about who we are and that we can be better and want to be better. So we will always welcome anyone that wants to be part of our growth journey - particularly if you want to make us better!
