Pros

This company has a solid recruitment team whom have hired passionate and skilled employees. Great people at each of the Colorado locations! While employed at FGI I felt like I was mentored by my supervisor and my supervisor was invested in my career. The HR department is always looking for ways to improve benefits, team effectiveness, and general retention. IT department kept us up to date on technology. On my two year mark I got a new laptop. (Not to say that's general policy but was definitely a perk at the time!) Farnsworth Group invests in their staff, and with that you'll see some big anniversaries celebrated at each month's Center Meeting.

Cons

This company runs on old business best practices. There is very little room for flexible work hours and most staff are not approved to work from home. Leadership practices are stuck in the 90s (though I'll give them credit for the consistency). This company has a strong culture, though.

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…
