Embarrassing - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso SparkNET Interactive

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.

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.

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.

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.
