Pros

SPR was a good place to work when I first started. Opportunities were steadily growing and there was a focus on moving from mostly staff augmentation to being a solutions provider.

Cons

A strategic decision was made to move away from being the SPR family of companies, which went to market under three different brands, to SPR Consulting, which pulled everyone under the SPR brand. While that decision in and of itself wasn't a bad one the reorganization that accompanied it was. Within months a number of sales people left and the focus seemed to go back to more staff augmentation opportunities, even with full time employees, and away from being a solutions provider. Additionally, cutting edge work seemed to dry up as we delivery people were routinely asked to work on managed services projects. This is basic, boring, keep the lights on type of work and is not challenging and led to some key delivery departures. The new environment, by the time I left, was competitive and adversarial between delivery and sales. That was not the case (at least as much) prior to the reorganization. There is also little to no opportunity to move into a leadership role if you don't start in one.

Pros

Flexible work from home schedule if needed.

Cons

The place is very disorganized. Everything is always hitting the fan and last minute problems arise as nothing ever goes smoothly. Upper management is hard to talk to, unapproachable and demeaning to other employees. This company has a lot to learn about how to successfully retain employees and keep everyone happy!

Pros

Benefits are better than average, pay for OT, good work/life balance.

Cons

Poor Executive Management Team, lots of projects using "old" technology stacks, difficult to get promoted, more and more Staff Aug projects (Easier to Sell/Manage), high turnover in the consulting ranks - executives NEVER seem to leave, little or no succession planning, poor communication within the practices, and using scare tactics for reduce turnover by notifying other firms that they will take legal action if they hire SPR personnel

It’s true that providing a healthy environment where employees enjoy a good work/life balance is extremely important to us, and that we are loyal to high performing leaders across the organization. That said, we don't sit on our laurels and consistently push each other to learn new things, try new technologies, become better managers, and be better humans. We are nothing if we don't treat the folks out in the field with the respect they earn and deserve.
