Pros
Pay was good for location.
Kontras
Although this company boasts that it has a culture of transparency, progressiveness, and a learning culture, it is what I would say the exact opposite. I have worked in formal, traditional companies such as Cardinal Health, and it offered far more understanding managers, opportunity for growth and a true learning culture. Extremely noisy atmosphere, and not allowed to leave desk area to find a quieter place to work. I have probably worked for 5+ companies in my career, and this was one of the worst cultures i have ever experienced. I came in thinking that this would be a "google-esque" culture and decided to leave realizing it was just a wannabe. The managers seem to have no training on managing people. No clear lines of communication whatsoever, and everyone seemed to be from a different company - whether it was SPARC or when of its many contractors. So rules seemed to apply differently to each person.
