Pros

It's so refreshing to work somewhere that everyone genuinely cares about the mission and what we do to improve the lives of students through learning, as well as enabling teachers to make even more impact in their role, freeing up some of their admin time to focus on the students and teaching. Everyone at Sparx is really friendly and welcoming. Nowhere is a perfect workplace, although Sparx is up there but I'm shocked by some of these reviews as they don't represent how I feel having worked in the company for over 5 years. When I talk about my work to friends, they all want to come & work for Sparx, so they must be doing something right!

Cons

We have a great set of perks at Sparx but they are very focused on what our office building provides, would be great to have some perks which apply to all with a remote team.

Pros

Sparx is an education research and technology company that is facing an exciting challenge: figure out the best way to teach maths and help school teachers use this to get the best out of their students. I couldn't have wished for a better job. - Meaningful work every day - Great mix of people. It's not just your standard tech company as we have content writers and editors, examiners, video and games developers. - A scientific, data-driven approach to teaching mathematics - People here really care about the students who are using Sparx and want them to succeed - it's not about making a quick buck - We work closely with schools. Can work in education without being a teacher - Other companies in the same group/building (Oxygen House) have a diverse and interesting mix of social enterprise projects: smart cities, solar power, sustainable building... - Tasty lunches and home baking provided every day! - Fun company events, green travel scheme, all-round good culture

Cons

- Sparx is changing fast and seeing a few growing pains as it does, but nothing insurmountable. - I think working at Oxygen House has spoiled me for other jobs in the future.
