Pros

Still allows for remote work

Cons

Oh, Sparq, you magnificent dumpster fire of a company. If there were an olympic event for "corporate self-sabotage," you'd not only win gold but also trip over the podium, lose the medal, and then blame the intern. Let's start with management. Calling it "poor" would be an insult to poorly run lemonade stands. Decisions seem to be made by a magic 8-ball that's stuck on "Reply hazy, try again". The company is visionary - if your vision is a blurry, half-baked power point slide from 2003 titled "Synergy or Bust". The only thing they're innovating is new ways to confuse their employees and alienate their customers. They treat their values like a buffet: pick what you like, ignore the rest. Integrity? When it's convenient. Innovation? Sure, if by innovation you mean recycling bad ideas from the 90s and hoping no one notices. Inclusivity? They've mastered the art of including everyone in their collective misery. Employees are overworked, underpaid, and constantly gaslit into believing that this is the year things will turn around. (Spoiler: it's not.). Sparq isn't just a company; it's a cautionary tale. A masterclass in how to take a promising idea, douse it in poor leadership, and set it ablaze with bad decisions. If you're thinking of working here, don't. And if you're already here? Update your resume and pray for a swift exit strategy.

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.
