Pros

Farnsworth has the combined atmosphere of a small firm, where everyone is really great friends with eachother, and a larger firm, where lunches are catered, and the budget for office supplies is seemingly endless. Towards the end of my time with FW, I was friends with principles, managers, and everyone else. Farnsworth is the type of organization where people in positions of power, like the principles, or even the CEO, are not mythical beings to be feared, but awesome people you will befriend.

Cons

The disconnect between departments within the organization causes a LOT of stress/poor communication for admins.

Pros

- Colleagues - Lots of work, so lots of experience - Admin staff - Basic benefits like anywhere else - Monthly phone stipend - Company vehicle for traveling to job sites

Cons

- Remote work became less and less tolerated (even if work was being completed) - Pay was stagnant and only received inflation-related raises. To put some context, our hourly fees increased about 10-15% each year for inflation and miscellaneous factors, and our pay only increased 9% total in three years. - Always encouraged to work extra hours to meet deadlines, however, no overtime pay. - Year end bonuses were abysmal for the first two years even after record breaking revenues those years. At a point, there was no incentive to work harder if the year end bonus was only going to be f i v e h u n d r e d dollars compared to the thousands upper management was receiving on top of profit sharing. - Profit sharing: only a select few within company are invited - Management: Some managers took the job way too seriously, micromanaging and feeling them breathe on your neck. It clearly showed how little they knew about managing individuals and only cared about profits and how many hours were used on a project. - Saw more HR hires rather than engineer hires to help balance work loads - Constant pressure on our time sheets and making us move time away from general and into projects…
