SURVEY SAYS

Mostly satisfied
The firm’s culture, for the most part, receives high marks from insiders. SIG’s web site describes the firm’s culture as “a flat corporate structure, absent of hierarchies.” A recruiter in the firm’s Bala Cynwyd headquarters echoes this characterization, saying the firm has “as few levels of management as are necessary to run a business efficiently.” As a consequence, the source finds the structure at SIG fosters “open communication and accessibility.” In addition, says the contact, “Merit-based advancement and an entrepreneurial spirit allow for creativity and success in terms of responsibility assumed at a very young age.” SIG also claims to maintain a work environment that “allows employees to excel without being bogged down by red tape, job descriptions or other ‘corporate’ constraints. This unrestrained atmosphere has attracted some of the smartest, most competitive and creative people to our doors.” And according to the firm, those people stay at SIG, as “turnover is very low.” But there are views from both sides—one insider admits the company is “not the place it was in the high-flying days of the tech boom.”

Getting Hired

Tips from the inside

Polish your personality
Get a sense for SIG’s ideal traits in a candidate (such as “the ability to work well under pressure,” using “critical and nonlinear reasoning” and being able to communicate “effectively with other team members”) by checking out the firm’s “working here” section at www.sig.com, where the company also posts a full recruiting schedule. SIG recruits at a number of top schools including the Ivies, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Caltech and others. For students not enrolled at these schools, the company accepts online applications. Prospective employees of all levels (graduates and experienced hires) can also use the web site to search for jobs by location, experience level, employment category, department and keyword. Postings include a job summary and list of qualifications.
