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 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 others: Each part of our mission is extraordinarily hard. We will only achieve sustained success through striving for excellence in our work, going beyond others' expectations, making their day/role/decision easier and helping them to deliver excellence themselves
  • Respect through feedback: Our mission and principles require difficult choices and meaningful feedback. These can be hard to give and receive so it's important we do so with respect, care and honesty recognising that each of us is a human and not a number
  • Own your time and actions: By working at Sigma Labs you are choosing to be an owner (taking shared responsibility for work & outcomes; optimising for the business) and a leader (role modelling behaviours, inspiring others through action, being deliberate with days & time, not missing things, owing mistakes). These responsibilities grow with seniority
  • Continual improvement: It is imperative we understand what it is that allows us to be excellent, so that we can amplify our impact over time (both as individuals and as an organisation). This means having a hyper-focus on clear objectives, seeking feedback on our assumptions and work, and finally having the discipline, courage and determination to improve every day
  • Team first, self second: You may not agree with someone’s action or perspective, but you start from the position of assuming everyone you engage with is trying their best. We foster reciprocity and symbiotic relationships - treat people as if you’ll rely on them in 20 years from now. Treat people how you like to be treated. (This doesn’t mean a refusal to criticise or disagree)
