Sigma Computing Software Engineer reviews

Leadership lacks transparency! Relevant and important information is often kept secret and consistently on a "need-to-know basis," which makes leadership seem dishonest and insincere. There's a lack of transparency on the company's direction and a growing culture of fear that has been reported multiple times. Basically, the environment is "you're here to do a job; we pay better than most startups, so do your job and don't ask questions." You're a cog in the machine, not a team member. And you'll be constantly bombarded with "investor talk" during all-hands (God they even use the same slides). Sigma used to be a great place to work, but now it's transitioning to a corporate culture without building trust with its employees.

- 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
