Fully established company operates like a brand new start up. - Customer Service Manager SparkFun Employee Review

Very sexist upper management. I have seen first hand in meetings where ideas from women are completely ignored but the exact same idea from a man is hailed as genius. The pay. When I was there SparkFun Electronics chronically underpaid all of its positions. We called this the "Spark Fun Tax". SparkFun, at the time, was hoping they could leverage how "fun" or "cool" it was to work there in order to justify lower wages. That's fine if you are fresh out of college but for someone trying to do things like have a career and buy a house it's a problem.
