Pros

There is a lot of flexibility and latitude for creativity. You will work your butt off but at the end of the day, your opinion is valued and you will have the opportunity to influence many aspects of your work. Farnsworth Group feels like a small company and does not have an oppressive hierarchy (there's definitely a traditional structure, but it is pretty simple and the leaders are approachable). If you invest the time in getting to know the leaders of the organization and share your ideas and suggestions, you will get noticed and be able to be part of shaping the organization as a whole. I've never worked so hard at a position in the past, but I've never worked in a place where I've been able to have a voice and be heard this well. Very rewarding and fun!

Cons

The company is growing and things are changing quickly, however the amount of support to the technical areas needs to catch up. I end up wearing a lot of hats just to get the work done and be successful. However, this issue appears to be improving and has actually helped me grow new skills.

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…
