Pros
Great staff. You are entrusted with a high level of responsibility, but with that comes professional growth and opportunity. Disciplinary groups are fairly small so there is a strong team environment with each person having influence on the practice and on success of group. Recently formed structural team in Denver office shows great promise and is growing both in terms of staff and size of projects and focused on producing quality work. Other structural teams within company are also made up of quality staff. Good project variety and exposure to other design disciplines. Competitive salary compared to other firms in Denver metro.
Cons
When workload stacks up sometimes overtime is required to meet deadlines due to smaller size of groups. This has more to do with nature of industry than Farnsworth, but does occasionally happen. Generally work-life balance is reasonable. Bonuses not always great but higher salary makes up for it.
