Sparta Global reviews

The company is an actual joke, the trainer treats you like your back in primary school. I completed the training only for them to review me on the last day and say you ain’t suitable for the job. It was not only me who got withdrawn, there were a few other members. I felt that they did this because they had no clients and that they recruited to many people. The job description posted online is all lies. They have no demand for clients. They will tell you on the assessment day that they work with different clients but there were no sign of them. They don’t support you in terms of costs so realistically you are left with hardly any money. The training itself was poor as it was read from a PowerPoint slide with no meaning. If you want to become a business analyst, then apply elsewhere because Sparta expect you to learn testing and do roles in testing. The fact that they tie you down for two years with no promotion or wage increase is just poor. Sparta just wasted my time and I would just like to let everyone know that this ain’t what it seems.

- On the business analysis stream but put into software testing roles even after being promised not to be, while on the bench spoke to other employees who were also placed into placements they never wanted against their will - False promises told during interview including salary expectations, available jobs and how much freedom you will have to go into your chosen field (you have no choice, they will threaten you into taking roles you don't want) also, more importantly was told the chances of being placed outside of london were slim and I would not have to relocate during interview and training however once training finished I was forced to go into interviews outside of London - Spartan Testimonials on the website are fake as I know the people who supposedly stated those things - Before signing the contract, read through it fully and request the employee handbook as they did not provide this for me until I requested it, you will then see how limited you will be on the placements they put you on - Forced to go into the academy while on the bench even though this was never mentioned in the contract, tried to argue this but they said it was necessary even though while in the academy I did not gain anything as no training was provide, pretty sure this was just to keep an eye on employees while on the bench - From my group only 2 people were placed into a placement after the training course including me (originally a group of 12) - Personally I was screwed over every time it was beneficial for Sparta - If you have any concerns about this company I would suggest talking to actual Spartans who have been through the two years or are currently on-site as they will have be more truthful than anyone related to Management from Sparta All in all, if you are looking to get into software testing and have no other options this may be the place for you but for anything else, avoid like the plague
