Pros: 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.

Pros: Revenue is looking very great. During the year before or two we were growing year over year but not as fast. Especially during the downturn of the market things seemed hard. But this year/last year was great so a lot of excitement. Usually most startups would slow down around this stage but it's looking like there's a lot of momentum pushing us forward. There are lots of interesting projects to work on.

Cons: Some projects get overhyped and there’s sometimes politics you have to navigate but overall everyone is very friendly and tries to push to make the product better.

Pros: I'm extremely proud and happy to work with all of my coworkers, and I've learned plenty from them. I'm also very excited about what Sigma is doing: enabling non-technical folks (aka most of the people in the world) to explore and gain insights on large datasets. The technology we work with is also super interesting, and there are countless open-ended problems, related to systems, compilers, UX, and everything in between, which we work on. I have confidence in the management team, and there's a strong focus to have an open and welcoming culture for folks of all different backgrounds, and to make sure people aren't burning out, especially in the time of COVID. There is so much work to be done, there is ample opportunity for people to join and take ownership of both existing components, and to build new components.

Cons: It should go without saying that Sigma is a startup, so there are certainly some rough edges -- certain processes we as developers have in place are probably more manual than we'd like them to be, and also some sections of the code (a minority) are not as clean as they could be. Sometimes planning sprints can be a bit hectic, with all the priorities we're managing. But we're constantly working on smoothing things out, and the issues are well-known.
