Sparta Systems Reviews

Pros

Evolving digital solution that is rapidly gaining new customers. Very fast-paced. Team spirit with a "let's get this done" attitude. Accessible leadership that listens to ideas. Hardworking colleagues, you'll never be the one doing all of the work, alone.

Cons

Smaller organization that means having to wear many, many hats or else things won't get done - and this is throughout all groups. The company is working to find efficiencies and clear delegation of tasks so this is already improving. There needs to be a single source of information - information is splattered all over the company and everyone would benefit from a single place to go.

Pros

- Great place to start a career - Work from home flexibility - Development managers can be great motivators

Cons

- Most Senior-Level developers left over the past year or two - Can be a lot of management involved in development lifecycle - Far too much time spent in agile planning/estimation meetings - Recognizing and addressing technical debt is met by much resistance - Product strategy/priorities change every couple of days to couple of weeks - Offshoring created a significant amount of technical debt; and continues to do so - Accounting regularly pays invoices from a few days to a month late - Very restrictive IP Contract - Long support cycles
