Northstar (formerly Sigmaflow) Review as an employee - Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer SigmaFlow Employee Review

SigmaFlow has a true 'Startup' feel, fast-paced environment where you are required to wear multiple hats.

Employees not accustomed to working in small-PE backed startups will find this environment hard to get along with.

There are two long tenured employees in the Plano office that are great to work with, very helpful and very knowledgeable.

-Query for previous employees on linkedin and you will see a long standing pattern of quick turnover, many with less than a year of employment. -Development goals shift constantly. Coordination of development is difficult due to development staff being located in a foreign country in a drastically different time zone. -Senior management treats employees with outright disrespect and contempt. During group meetings employees are openly criticized and run down. Intelligence and capability is not recognized or developed, but met with resistance. -Employees are expected to devote a stiffling number of hours towards work. Personal time will become nearly non-existent. -Office conditions are poor, from dilapidated furniture to unreasonably old consumer grade laptops. Company infrastructure struggles due to lack of planning and reasonable budget. -Customers don’t appear to be satisfied with the service they are paying for, which is a result of the above statements.
