Pros

Absolutely wonderful place to work, with great colleagues. Foosball breaks while waiting on builds is awesome. Great learning opportunity, probably the best job for people fresh out of college. The more senior developers love to take the younger people under their wing and teach them a lot of things. Very transparent leadership, they'll answer any and all questions you have, and will always make sure to hear you out. Great project managers who listen to the developers, especially during crunch time.

Cons

Small teams, with big promises on delivery.

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.
