Pros

Nice work space even though it's not central. Monthly company beer and wine get together is cool. Clean washrooms.

Cons

Lots of talk and little action. Not Customer focused which is hard when you are always customer facing. They are more concerned with everyone hitting targets for being billable than they are for us spending the time developing good code for their clients. There seems to be a lack of leadership at the company so we're not always confident that they are all working on the same plan.

Thank you for your response. We understand that these reviews are anonymous but if you feel comfortable please share directly as insight from employees gives us great perspective. As for your review, we appreciate some of your points and do take them into consideration. We do have to disagree on one point as we love our customers - I think many of us here are inspired by nonprofits and public sector organizations making a difference, which as you know are who are customers are. There is nothing more fulfilling then hearing an employee share a story about a happy customer experience. Implementing our solutions does mean some staff need to bill their time for their professional service, however, to us, we are bringing value to our customers from these professional services. Good revenue management combined with happy customers means our customers are getting value from what we do. We do take note regarding your concern with leadership and will continue to aspire to change that way of thinking. We use the Key Strategic Objectives (KSOs) listed on our wall for everyone to see as a great way for our leadership team to be reminded of our goals. We also revisit these KSOs every quarter and then improve them year over year through our strategy summit.

Pros

Sparkrock is a great company to work for. You are surrounded by high-caliber people and there is a strong focus on learning and self-development. You really get the opportunity to grow professionally and improve your skills over time. Payment is fair and competitive. The selective process is mostly self-paced, which makes it very fair, transparent, and stress-free. Overall, it’s a solid environment with real opportunities for growth.

Cons

It’s honestly hard to think of real cons. Like any growing company, some processes can occasionally change or evolve, which may require adaptability, but nothing that significantly impacts the overall experience.

Pros

I’ve been with Sparkrock for a few months now, and it’s been an exceptional experience from day one. The caliber of the team here is truly impressive – it's like everyone has a unique superpower, and it's evident in the way they shine within their roles. The onboarding process was incredibly organized and efficient, setting a high standard right from the start. I was welcomed warmly by the team, and their support has been outstanding. I’ve been fortunate to have a fantastic manager and colleagues who have helped me adapt quickly and effectively. The culture of growth and development is strong here; I've already started discussions with my manager about my career path, which underscores the organization's commitment to seeing employees thrive. Overall, I am very satisfied with my decision to join Sparkrock and would highly recommend this organization to anyone looking to grow and succeed.

Cons

Honestly, I can’t think of any cons.
