Vantaggi

N/A - Some 'nice' things, but nothing even close enough to make up for the negatives. Free food would be the best if I was forced to choose.

Svantaggi

Welcome to SparkNET, where the free food and riding down slides are supposed to make up for the chicken scratch pay, where the best of employees in terms of production and effort are reprimanded and demeaned on a weekly basis, and where you nearly get run over daily by the motorcycles running rampant throughout the parking lot. There are many negative things to be said about SparkNET, but this isn't a forum to rant, my message is simply a warning to anybody thinking about stepping foot inside this building... don't. This place is a major speedbump on the path to success and happiness, do not fall victim. The negativity is palpable and it's brought to fruition by management despite their obvious attempts to blame subordinates.

If you were a Quality Control editor at SparkNET for more than 5 years, you must have experienced a 35-42% increase in pay over that time period because our current Quality Control editors receive pay that is 43% higher today than it was 5 years ago. I'm sorry you felt that was "chicken scratch". -- As for the negativity, this is not the kind of environment it is. I wish you the best on your career pursuits.

Vantaggi

I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews for this company. My experience here as been very good. The work environment is comfortable and feels like home, the work is very self motivated and satisfying, the pay is fair and the benefits are good, and the culture is very friendly and family like. All the amenities in the office are very very nice. You're not going to find many other places like this in the fox valley. Free lunch, access to gym, showers, underground parking, and other unnecessary but nice perks are great. It's also been a great experience working and learning about so many different programs and products. The job doesn't get into a rut like many other development jobs I've worked. I do different interesting things on a daily basis and rarely get bored.

Svantaggi

I personally have nothing negative to say but if you prefer more structured work where you're told exactly what to do every step of the way then a job at Sparknet might not be for you.

Vantaggi

Everything looks great at Sparknet but the only real pros are free lunch, coworkers and being on third floor with distractions like games and a view.

Svantaggi

Pay is very minimal and real promotions only happen to spouses or good friends of “management” -and you have to be willing to suck up and be energetic about a company that doesn't have a strong stake in any certain industry anymore. Everything is transparent but the team leads think if they whisper to one person at a time no one will be the wiser. The team leaders are on power trips and don't respect the people actually working in their departments. There is a lot of micro management about time happening on their parts but lots of personal activities during work hours happening on their parts. They should be holding themselves to the same standards they hold their employees.

We don't micro-manage or at least no one here in management has a goal to micro-manage anything. We hire and train great people, give them tools to do their job and then do our best to get out of the way. I will admit that we are a very data-decision-driven company and we love data... and this can be wrongly interpreted as micro-management, but if we don't know how much time critical activities take, how can we ever seek to improve our performance or troubleshoot problems before our customers, members or users identify them? If you feel disrespected by your team lead, then please see your direct supervisors manager or contact our HR person for assistance so that we can hear your side of the story. ---- No one in SparkNET leadership or myself have ever encouraged our team members to submit fake reviews of anything.
