Pros

Diverse projects but this is largely due to the nature of agency settings and is not necessarily unique to SPARK.

Cons

Office politics is putting it lightly... Weaponized performance reviews and aggressive power dynamics make SPARK a highly toxic, emotionally abusive working environment. Turnover is rampant and clients are constantly complaining and eventually leaving, and justifiably so. They make promises they can't deliver on and make their well-meaning, hardworking employees lower on ladder their scapegoats. And even worse, when you work 60-70+ hour weeks, they still maintain that you're not doing enough, even going so far as to say "if you're not working 100 hour weeks, what are you even doing?" I wish I was kidding. Zero process. Zero support. Do not apply here if you value your mental health.
