Pros

Leadership was relatively hands off. Requirements regarding interacting with anyone at Sparq while on a client were nonexistent.

Cons

Leadership has literally no idea what they are doing. At no point in my years with Sparq did senior leadership give any indication that they knew what was going on with clients. They also refused to take any accountability for hard times. The new CEO would often blame any company shortcomings on the economy or even politics. The company threw out the old model of getting rural engineers into the work force and decided it was cheaper to force cheap foreign labor on our clients which inevitably killed the company forcing massive layoffs. They also pay very very little for the industry but lie about it.

Pros

The colleagues are great to work with

Cons

This used to be a company that took pride in hiring local talent and cultivating their skillsets to make each one a rockstar. Now since the rebranding they have done a 180 on their mission statement. Now it's all about AI, hiring cheap "near-shore" talent, and laying off people they can't find work for.
