Pros

Sigma provides a good work-life balance and the chance to work remotely to accommodate life events. It also pays well; one of the best paying jobs around. The folks "on the ground" are for the most part excellent. They know their jobs, are extremely competent and professional, and usually work as a team. A great place to learn technical skills as the engineers are always willing to take time to explain.

Cons

There's too much in-fighting between divisions/branches at Sigma. Sales blames PS, PS blames Sales, money comes from different pots so that each division is looking out for it's own skin rather than trying to do what's best for the company as a whole. Management doesn't address issues until it's too late, and then rather than mentor/train people, they take drastic measures. HR is a joke; trying to on board someone new takes more than 3 weeks and the treatment of people is very capricious.

Pros

* Some really genuine and talented people that were a pleasure to work with in all departments * Pivot acquisition improved communication * Extremely autonomous environment (i.e. no practical supervision or leadership, if you know what you're doing, you're left alone) * Great Customers * Nice Office space * Nice Office desks * Flexible work from home policy

Cons

* High turnover - 5 changes of supervisor in a little over 2 years, people in department left every 3-4 months, putting burden on everyone remaining. Churn and burn atmosphere. Work overload. No appreciation at all. * Leadership did not effectively address well known issues with poor managers and good people left * No reviews or salary increases * Some managers did not have appropriate skillsets * Did not have tools needed to do the job (i.e. Microsoft Project software, when Customers were using it, and other internal departments). * Not a Team atmosphere within the Company as a whole. * Manager load at over 40 direct reports was unreasonable and affected everyone * No career development, no advancement opportunities * Different companies under Pivot did not talk with one another. Management was not open to hearing ways to better improve this situation
