Advice to Management

Look at the product you have, recognize how it got to it's current state, and see how your current planning is either positively or negatively affecting it. Talk to anyone in RnD that works with it if you need clarification.

Pros

Sparta is a great place to work if you're a motivated, independent person that likes to be part of the company's success. Depending on the department some work is in-house, remote or at a client site, but regardless you always feel part of the team and that your contribution makes a difference.

Cons

With global and remote employees you don't often get the face to face interaction more than a few times a year, but all hands meetings do bring the teams together for team bonding

Pros

Good people - good product - nice customers. Employees are recognised for their efforts and pay/benefits are very good. Members of the Management Team are approachable and well respected.

Cons

The UK/US time difference can sometimes be frustrating!

Advice to Management

Keep communicating with employees to help everyone understand where the company is heading.
