Our take
Sigma Labs trains high-performance technology consultants across software, data, and platforms. Sigma recruits promising graduates and provides them with intensive training that builds skills in full-stack software and data engineering as well as commercial and soft skills.
This results in the delivery of high-potential technical consultants for their clients, an approach that's both cost-effective and lower-risk. And after a 2-year development period, consultants can join our clients at no cost.
Sigma Labs operates in a crowded space, alongside more established players like FDM and the Kubrick Group who have trained tens of thousands of consultants each year. But Sigma's mission-driven approach and focus on social mobility stands out. They specifically seek out hardworking, curious graduates from lower-income backgrounds and place them into world-class organisations like BCG, Deloitte, EY, and McKinsey. If they can continue to make inroads in this space, they'll be able to unlock a previously untapped generation of talent.

Company values
- Excellence in service of impact: at the core of our business is impact through education. In pursuit of this goal we strive for excellence, recognising also that the work we do is almost always in service of someone else, enabling them to be brilliant. This is about determination, precision, simplicity, and quality.
- Thoughtful respect: we understand that the pursuit of excellence is hard, and each of us is a person, not a number. This must be critical to our day-to-day interactions and our messaging. It means we always show each other the respect to give and receive feedback, and to do so thoughtfully and with humanity.
- Ownership & leadership: by working here you’re choosing not just to be an owner but also a leader - a role model for others: to take ownership of not only your work but also the mission, and the shared responsibility for performance. It means optimising for the outcome of your team and the business, being deliberate about your impact, and owning mistakes.
- Continuous improvement: it is imperative we understand what it is that allows us to be excellent, and to build on it so that we can amplify our impact over time. We aim to do this as individuals and as an organisation: having a hyper-focus on clear objectives, detailing our thinking and then proactively seeking, giving & listening to feedback on our assumptions and work, and finally, having the discipline, courage and determination to improve every day.

It's a small team who work hard towards our mission - and there's still a culture of understanding that people have lives outside of work. It feels like a professional environment, even though it's still a young company.

Opportunities to learn
Sep 2023
This is really cliche but I genuinely look forward to coming to work in the mornings - both for the work environment (colleagues who are here because they care) and the work itself (reducing the tech skills gap & reducing structural unemployment). Sigma Labs has a fantastic mission and this makes even the dull & boring work meaningful.

I didn't know what great feedback was until I joined Sigma Labs. In my first 121 with my manager, I was blown away by the level of authenticity and care that they showed. Even when I'm given critical feedback, I know it comes from a place of coaching & improvement not criticising & blame.

Supportive management

I feel like Sigma Labs XYZ has really benefited from Rich being the Founder & CEO. His past experience as a VC investor helped us avoid many pitfalls common to early stage businesses and his authentic leadership has created a genuinely caring and purposeful culture.

I joined Sigma Labs 6 months ago and have learned more here that time than in the previous 3-4 years in my last role. There's a supportive culture around giving and receiving feedback, which means team members all help each other to improve.
