Pros

Fully Remote and they don't watch you like a hawk, will keep you employed for a while typically even when you're not on project

Cons

Very limited advancement opportunity, manager has changed twice since I was put in for a promotion with no feedback, pay is not great, communication is terrible because it goes through too many layers, laying off US employees while acquiring offshore businesses, doesn't look good for a company originally branded on having US consultants to compete against all the offshoring we have

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.
