Pros

There's a lot to love about Sigma. Great product customers love, smart teams, moves fast.

Cons

We are in crisis mode right now but our CEO either doesn't know or doesn't care. A lot of people are leaving and it's dismissed as they just can't handle “the grind”. In actuality, there’s no real vision for the company, the fear-based polarized culture is toxic, teams are understaffed by the layoff and hiring freeze but always expected to take on more and more. It makes getting even small things done impossible. There's total inconsistency and misinformation on pay increases and promotion even for those of us who have been here a long time. Instead of trusting and inspiring their teams, the massive egos at the top have convinced themselves people won't leave because it’s a bad market and we're the only company making our numbers right now. No one speaks up out of fear but everyone is feeling it. There's a lot going for Sigma but right now we are our own worst enemy.

Pros

Strong talent Good pay and perks Large acv

Cons

Simply calling this organization political doesn't illustrate how conniving leadership is here. Strong favoritism and disregard for merit. Saw really talented individuals sabotaged because their existence undermined another's agenda. Falling behind on AI. We used to be the innovative company in this space but now we're months behind from our competitors. Our success historically has nothing to do with our capabilities it's how we brand our capabilities. We do much more selling of our roadmap versus selling what we actually do. Leadership is just looking for a liquidity event to line their pockets and dip. When a company's sole purpose is to cash out it means they don't see long-term value in our space. Great companies that will be around for the long run are looking to capture market, organizations with little to contribute to a space look to get paid out. We'll be another Sisense, Domo, or thoughtspot nothing more. If you are good at brown nosing this is the place for you. But even then you'll stay in your seat forever. There is little upward mobility in this company. They look to pay for external talent over generating a culture of growth. Not a good place to be early on in your career. When you build an army of mercenaries everyone flees at this first sign of trouble.
