Ventajas

SparkNET offers exceptional benefits: health insurance, life insurance, vision and dental insurance, and 401k with matching. In addition, the workspace and technology are top-notch. I worked on a new 15" MacBook Pro with 2 27" Thunderbolt display monitors. The building amenities are great perks: gym, yoga room, hot tubs, saunas, underground parking, coffee/cappuccino/soda/juice, lunch provided daily. The CEO is now more hands-on with the business and employee management than in years past, which is proving to be a positive change for SparkNET. The current staff is exceptional across the board. Loretta in HR is super down-to-earth and helpful with any insurance/HR questions. Overall, a person who likes to think big and surround themselves with positive energy will fit in well at SparkNET.

Desventajas

Though SparkNET has a big, top-notch building, it's still a small business and they don't have big salary budgets to retain employees who don't show true financial returns for the company. In order to earn a high salary at SparkNET, it's crucial to show measurable returns in the work you do. The CEO is very data-driven and relies on this type of information when making salary decisions.

Ventajas

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.

Desventajas

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.

Ventajas

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.

Desventajas

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.
