Pros
Lots of hard working unfairly people caught in a volatile company.
Cons
Sparq's new agenda is to replace American workers with a large percentage of nearshore workers to lower their hourly rate. The reason they are doing this is because they are incapable of portraying value when attempting to sell services. In the last two years, they have openly admitted in Town Hall meetings that their Sales Team hasn't done the best job in selling programming services and design services. The CEO and Senior Leadership are ruining a company of hard working people, because they lack the professional skills necessary to properly express value and sell services. The primary problem is not the workers, the problem is the CEO and Senior staff need to all be removed. A real business savvy CEO could turn this company around in a single day. Sparq puts on a good show of acting like they truly care about their workers, but they don't care at all. They average two layoff rounds a year and if you happen to get unlucky and are sitting on the bench (a waiting period between assigned clients) they will let you go and it won't even matter how long and how loyal you have been to them. I've seen and experienced this first hand. If you work here, you will be taking the huge risk of eventually being let go. I've seen so many great people let go for no reason at all. It makes no sense to me what they are doing.
