Office space is nice and they offer free lunch a few days a week.

Cons

Culture is cut throat and people are generally on edge. product is primitive and doesn't compete well, although that could change in the future. management style can be fear-based. work life balance is basically non-existent

Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for feedback from our employees on how we can do better. We recently ran an employee engagement survey and took immediate actions based on the feedback we heard to address the big concerns we heard there. In that survey, we saw that our employees are generally content with our company’s response to COVID but that it can be a challenge to separate work and personal time when you work at home/live at work. We will continue to listen to feedback on how we can help people create these boundaries for themselves and take appropriate actions. We are extremely proud of our product and love that we continue to innovate and improve it every day. We make updates to our product on a rolling basis because there are always things we see in it that we want to add and improve. We are winning customers over with our ease of use, faster time to insights, and by leveraging the newest technologies in the marketplace. Thank you for your feedback on our culture - I’m sorry that it didn’t always work for you. We have a leadership team with a lot of experience building teams and growing a company. They are making decisions with empathy for our customers and our employees. That being said, one of our values is to always Aim for Greatness and we welcome the opportunity to hear more about your experience so that we can continue to learn and grow. Again, thank you for all your feedback and for the work you did while you were at Sigma. Every employee has been an important part of getting the company to where it is today and we hope to continue to build on that as we grow!

Pros

At a high level Sigma empowers everyone to get the same analytics results as an experienced SQL coder. The emergence of cloud data warehouses has placed Sigma in a unique position to make all the CDW data available to anyone to explore without writing a single line of code. With that said here are some highlights: - Using and supporting the product has been a great experience. Customers love our product. The future looks very promising. - People are awesome. Collaboration and interaction is open and dynamic. From the founders to current execs to everyone in the company permeates a culture of fearless communication and best intent. - Things are changing fast and there's lots of hiring all around despite Covid-19. - Company plans to grow exponentially over the next few years. - Many career development opportunities in all areas. Experienced management is very open to coach for career progression. - There are no politics and leadership is very transparent.

Cons

- A lot of low hanging fruit type issues in the product which are getting addressed quickly. - Some lack of processes around scaling and onboarding at this stage of the company. It is up to us to put all those in place.

Pros

I'm extremely proud and happy to work with all of my coworkers, and I've learned plenty from them. I'm also very excited about what Sigma is doing: enabling non-technical folks (aka most of the people in the world) to do explore and gain insights on large datasets. The technology we work with is also super interesting, and there are countless open-ended problems, related to systems, compilers, UX, and everything in between, which we work on. I have confidence in the management team, and there's a strong focus to have an open and welcoming culture for folks of all different backgrounds, and to make sure people aren't burning out, especially in the time of COVID. There is so much work to be done, there is ample opportunity for people to join and take ownership of both existing components, and to build new components.

Cons

It should go without saying that Sigma is a startup, so there are certainly some rough edges -- certain processes we as developers have in place are probably more manual than we'd like them to be, and also some sections of the code (a minority) are not as clean as they could be. Sometimes planning sprints can be a bit hectic, with all the priorities we're managing. But we're constantly working on smoothing things out, and the issues are wellknown.
