Pros

Competitive pay, challenging work in a positive/encouraging culture, fun colleges to work with who are smart and challenge you to grow and become more; Friends and family are jealous of my cool work environment, slides from floor to floor; Matching 401k, Mind/Body/Fitness center with free weights, cardio, heated-yoga studio + thermal spa on-site, certified massage therapist available for low company-subsidized rate, healthy/organic food available from in-house chef, free drinks/popcorn/snacks, etc.; extremely casual dress code, gaming stations (ping pong, pool, foosball, video games, lan parties); College and continuing education reimbursement, and a manager that really cares about me as a person.

Kontras

Every day you're solving problems that have never been solved before and that can be stressful; Company is constantly re-inventing itself and positions or opportunities change faster than typical companies...which means, if you like doing the same thing, year after year, this is not the right place for you; Some projects require a lot of time that may exceed a normal work-week; Not all positions lead to advancement and it's sometimes difficult to be promoted sideways or between departments; Sometimes I come an hour late for lunch in the cafeteria and they are all out of what was on the menu for the day.

Pros

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.

Kontras

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.

Pros

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.

Kontras

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.
