Pros

Everyone here cares about making a difference to children and their education. It feels great knowing that you are part of the mission to help with achieving that goal, no matter your role. Regular communication from SLT to know how the company is doing and everyone is approachable and helpful. I haven't worked anywhere where feedback has been encouraged so openly and it is refreshing. Regular staff surveys with feedback makes it feel like you are really listened to. Would encourage people to ignore the comments on this board - in my opinion it is not a true and honest reflection for how Sparx actually is. Staff are looked after really well and there is a lot of social activity encouraged within teams and across the company.

Cons

It makes me realise I should have left my previous job sooner!

Pros

Sparx is an education research and technology company that is facing an exciting challenge: figure out the best way to teach maths and help school teachers use this to get the best out of their students. I couldn't have wished for a better job. - Meaningful work every day - Great mix of people. It's not just your standard tech company as we have content writers and editors, examiners, video and games developers. - A scientific, data-driven approach to teaching mathematics - People here really care about the students who are using Sparx and want them to succeed - it's not about making a quick buck - We work closely with schools. Can work in education without being a teacher - Other companies in the same group/building (Oxygen House) have a diverse and interesting mix of social enterprise projects: smart cities, solar power, sustainable building... - Tasty lunches and home baking provided every day! - Fun company events, green travel scheme, all-round good culture

Cons

- Sparx is changing fast and seeing a few growing pains as it does, but nothing insurmountable. - I think working at Oxygen House has spoiled me for other jobs in the future.
