Sia prioritizes the firm instead of the individual. Significant amount of money spent on annual "seminars" instead of passing that through to employees. Significant cost outlay for a client event which showcased a "music video" with the CEO dressed in a stormtrooper costume - this was the first interaction most of New York clients in attendance had with Sia.
North American seminar was cancelled due to Coronavirus (good decision) but only after they pushed the decision to cancel (or not) down to the employees via email survey. For a firm that has grown solely through acquisition, they have no idea how to perform a smooth integration with the businesses they acquire. Payroll, benefits, 401k, tax withholding - all have had issues being implemented for firms that they have acquired in the past year or two. Their business model prioritizes business development over delivery. They display a distinct lack of commitment to long standing business relationships, expecting their delivery resources to commit significant time investment on activities other than delivering for their clients. Lack of diversity at the management / partner level. I would not recommend this firm to others.
