Pros

Good perks, free food, have great and smart co-workers.

Cons

Watch out for the middle-level managers. From SIG's review, you will see it stands out with its ability to keep smart and good people. Some of the good and smart people with decent technical backgrounds become the managers. However, with SIG's growth rate, some of street smart people grasped the chance and became the managers.

As the result, you will begin to see those managers spend energy to play games among the teams they manage, play favors, and try to increase their influence and power in the company by controlling people, playing favors, and hiring their friends who don't have qualified experience into their teams.

Advice to Management

Please protect your good managers who have solid technical backgrounds and understand IT professional, and they are the ones helping you to grow and make SIG cool. For them, I would like to give 5 stars. However, please WATCH OUT for some middle level IT managers who don't have solid technical backgrounds and are trying very hard to play politics and personal favors to increase their influence. Because care about SIG and can predict the damages that those managers can bring to SIG, I have to give 2.5 stars to Culture & Values.
