Pros

I worked as a Developer for Sparq for 2.5 years and was promoted once. Great experience as I was assigned to great teams and projects. The benefits are amazing for a consulting firm. Salaries are a bit low. I was caught in a round of layoffs, but overall this company was A+.

Cons

Low pay comparatively - Some senior technical leadership at times was underqualified/undercompetent for the project role they were given. The new Cohort model of colleague management is convoluted.

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.
