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

Sigma Computing Response
1y
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

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.
