Process
A recruiter reached out to me. I did the typical phone coding interview (LeetCode Medium). There were four rounds of interviews. I split them into two days, with two rounds of interviews on each day.
A few minutes before the interviews began on the second day, they reached out and said they would not be moving forward based on the interview feedback. This has never happened to me before, but I don't think that's cool.

Sigma Computing Work Experiences
- 1.0Elon Musk’s company cultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeptember 19, 2025Pros: There are great coworkers, free lunch, and a nice office.Cons: It appears that Sigma’s leadership has taken inspiration from Elon’s style, fostering a negative culture and a toxic work environment. Employees are expected to work long hours. Glassdoor reviews are inflated and misleading. If you plan to work on fronted, all of your front end PRs will be blocked by one of the cofounders and you will have to deal with his toxic comments, please take it seriously as it will happen. Career growth path is unclear. There is favoritism. There is little diversity. The company’s primary focus is on hiring new graduates. Senior engineers are heavily involved in mentoring new grads, which creates significant distractions from their own projects, yet there is nothing offered in return.
