Pros

Relaxed work environment, relatively flexible schedule. Overall it's a decent place to start out.

Cons

The pay is low but they acknowledge it and are doing their best, the company isn't that big and the way they generate revenue tends to lower what they can pay. Very little remote work options as they try to claim mentoring adds value when very little mentoring actually happens.

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.
