Pros

Sparta's a small company. You end up knowing most people throughout various departments. People are friendly and approachable, helpful and kind for the most part.

Cons

Sparta lacks any form of vision or plan, but they call it "agile". This isn't a new problem, the entire time I've been there it's a series of priority changes (abrupt changes to the entire roadmap) and listening to the loudest customer yelling. There's too much emphasis on trying to not upset some individuals in favor of doing the right thing, which leads to problems for those impacted. Not all departments operate like partners. Customer Support tends to throw things over the wall to R&D to deal with, without getting information from customers about what is not working properly, or what they're expecting. Customer Success tends to build strong relationships within both R&D and our Customers to help fix those problems though.

Pros

Great opportunity to sharpen skills and work with great people. Have enjoyed working for the company and located in Hamilton NJ.

Cons

Can become monotonous at times working with clients on the same issues day in and day out. I know we are all busy during the day but tier 2 needs to work on how they speak to managed employees.

Pros

Sparta Systems makes the dominant Quality Management Software for Pharma and Med Device Companies. You will learn all about those industries, how they manage quality, validation and testing methods, and consulting. If you are a Product Specialist, you will travel frequently, and if you manage your frequent flier miles and hotel points well, can get lots of free vacations as a result! Beautiful offices. Open, engaging, bright. Mostly nice people. You can go out on your own after a year or two and make much better money as a consultant.

Cons

The founder and all but one VP from the "old" days are gone. 10 new execs from CEO on down. Focus is on making money for top dogs. No room for upward movement. Management opportunities nil. Product is not improving at same pace as earlier. Market is fairly saturated now. Pay is lower than average for all but management.
