Pros

Decent benefits Good starting point in learning the ins and outs of the IT world right out of college Well equipped and nice office Good starting PTO

Cons

Almost non-existent management when it comes to day-to-day tasks 0 guidance on what to do if you aren’t actively assigned to a project The management system is very confusing, having to report to 2-3 different people every day is pointless and a burden

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.
