SIGMA TECHNOLOGIES

First few years of employment was absolutely amazing, company recently went through a management change not for the good. Merit raises and overtime were stopped, raises were drastically cut. People are hired in at drastically different pay ranges. No set pay scale, employee evaluations mean nothing when raises are given out, if your an outstanding employee with well above knowledge and work per hour metrics are well above the standard you get the same raise as someone who just meets the standard. No more incentive to work harder or be better. Work hours are great pick your hours just work 40 hours a week, this will probably change also. Very limited supervision as the supervisors are mostly unavailable due to other responsibilities you’re pretty much on your own. They do supply good equipment. It appears the owner of the company is loosing touch with the culture we had before due to the fast company growth. Moral is suffering but employees are afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation. Procedure how things are completed is always changing sometimes weekly. Employees are beginning to leave slowly as they find other employment. 

During training, they promise support and guidance, but that couldn’t be further from reality. Once you're on the job, management shows little interest in helping when you have questions or need to learn. Instead, it’s a micromanaged environment filled with pressure and constant oversight, even when you're well ahead of deadlines. The lack of proper training and support makes it feel more like a design assembly line than a collaborative workplace. The culture leans heavily toward production volume, not quality or employee development.

Sigma is very flexible, but their lack of management training and caring about how they come off after getting hired here isn't great at all. 

When I started I felt completely different about work, I was excited and having a great time. 

Their changes over the past couple years have destroyed the value of this job, how it makes people feel, and the overall atmosphere of things.

This company has also become something that doesn't want "free thinking" employees and would rather have mindless peons that just do what they are told and don't ask questions.

I’ve been with Sigma for 1.5 years now, and have worked as an admin on 2 different teams. I love it. I’ve never loved a job this much. The environment is laid back but productive. Feedback is productive and delivered in a timely, professional, kind way that helps growth. Every manager I’ve worked for has learned about me and made me feel like an essential part of the greater team and we truly all are. 

Initially, was excited to work at sigma technologies. There were promises of support, that no question was stupid, that they had your back. This turned out to be the biggest lie. Management doesn’t care if you have questions about your work. They instead tell you they’ll support you and then they write you up for not being able to do your work with a massive lack of training. 

Growing too large too quickly. Culture was stiff and nobody talked to anyone. 

You need to be adaptable to thrive at Sigma but if you are an adaptable person you will likely do well. The largest downsides to working at Sigma are that the executives of the company have created a bureaucracy such that things such as standard procedure and especially compensation are just given to you with limited capacity to send your voice upward. several tasks are done the way they are simply because its the way they did things when the company was founded. 

The mannaging sucks!! I have a MASTERS in physics, and I know what I am doing!
Managers first say that you must work on this project AND I CAN SEE THAT THE PROBLEMS will be solved (The famous "Low hanging fruit") then they cancel the program 
and Then 5 months later they go back to the original project. NO CONTINUATION!!
They are like YO-YOS! .You can not run a serious investigation in this manner.

Drafting permits using AutoCAD. The job was overall very easy, at least to me. Unfortunately, hard work only results in more work with mediocre pay raises based off inflation and state You live in.
If you're fast, efficient and accurate Don't expect to be compensated better. Was a great place to gain experience in telecom and auto CAD drafting.

Monday-Friday job working 100% outdoors.  Great if you enjoying hiking and working alone.  Very professional work culture but also an open door where as long as it is discussed in a professional manner your opinions are at least heard.  The best part of the job is weekends off, fair pay and not being inside.  The worst parts are the extreme weather, having to travel, using your own vehicle-though you are compensated with mileage which is nice.
