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

Small firm with a top heavy management/ stock holders

Cons

Beware that not all esop companies are created equal. FGI has a top level of stock for a limited group of people that of you aren't in that circle, you are viewed as not being as valuable

Pros

-Large Variety in Tasks -Great People -Location Flexibility

Cons

-Discouraged from working remote -Management constatnly breathing down your neck -There was an employee who made very racist and inflamatory comments and management wasn't willing to do anything about it, and it lead to a victim being fired -Compensation is very poor for the amount of work you do. -Management encourages extra work in exhange for an EOY bonus, but the hours you work and the bonus don't even make up 50% of your hourly rate.
