Pros

GOOD PEOPLE Many good, hard-working people at this company. I met some of my best friends here. WORK-LIFE BALANCE SigmaTEK offers a good work-life balance and I enjoyed my job most days. I would consider recommending it if the issues below were handled. GOOD PRODUCT The product, despite being somewhat clunky and complex, is likely best in its field.

Cons

LAYOFFS Numerous people were laid off recently (just a few weeks ago). TOXICITY Significant toxicity among a handful of senior-level employees, including blatant sexism and unwillingness to act on repeated HR complaints. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The executive leaders of HR and Development are married to each other. OTHER Below average pay and benefits for many positions; difficult to get a decent raise. Senior management made me feel terrible for leaving, despite my transparency about lack of pay and benefits (among other reasons).

We appreciate the candor of our employees, past and present. Likewise, we appreciate and could not agree more with the comments regarding our fantastic team, the positive culture with work-life balance and the industry leading products we provide our customers. Our organization has indeed been in transition over the past year as we’ve progressed from a small family-owned company to a mature growing business with new ownership. While this transition has been exciting and very positive for our organization, change can be difficult for some and often involves difficult decisions that are not always popular. Part of transitioning and positioning ourselves for future growth also involves making adjustments to the structure of our organization. We are working hard to minimize the effect that growing pains can inflict on the organization and are looking forward to a great future as we continue to welcome opportunities to learn and grow, as well as streamline our organization to operate more efficiently and effectively. SigmaTEK is committed to a culture that empowers its employees to communicate openly, and senior leadership and our CEO have an open-door policy. The Company’s Senior Leadership Team expects and requires all team members to act and work in a mutually respectful workplace in alignment with the Company’s values. As positive changes and improvements continue to take place as a result of our growth, we will continue to utilize the strengths of our employees to remain the premium CAD/CAM software solution provider.

Pros

There are some good people there I honestly do not have a single good thing to say about this company since the Sandvik take over. It got real bad real fast.

Cons

They did not pay us in Jan There is no available upward movement They do not provide the minimum resources needed to adequately perform the job They took away remote work They eliminated job training functions eliminated company morale projects removed key staff without replacing them and shoved the responsibilities to whoever was left until they were also fired or got fed up and left Claimed declining company performance was due to lack of effort and not lack of resources or any type of support from upper management via staffing or training Overall clown show of a transition
