      Pros

      Farnsworth offers a wide range of experience and projects, keeping the workplace dynamic. It's size is the perfect blend of small enough to not get lost, but large enough to get plenty of opportunities for growth. In some locations, the flexible schedule helps greatly for those with families. There are also amazing people I truly enjoy working with - in many ways we are a family. Plenty of laughter and jokes.

      Cons

      The biggest downfall is the amount of overtime that is expected. While this is offset somewhat by allowing for flexible time, it is still a real problem for work/life balance. I cannot say whether this is any worse than other comparable firms.

      Pros

      Wonderful people. Farnsworth does a great job of hiring the right personalities to fit in the work place as well as keeping things fun to keep that culture alive. Employees do alot of volunteer work for the community and it feels great to be a part of that. It really does feel like a little family here

      Cons

      Salaries are on the lower end of the spectrum. Not alot of room for growth for young engineers.

      Pros

      I negotiated for a high wage in the interview. Only to find out I was being paid far more than multi-year employees. Benefits are good. They give you a years worth of everything from the start. Most companies don't do this. And no 90 day period. But that's probably because of their high turnover rate. They realized offering this as an incentive would keep people.

      Cons

      Travel... they'll say 80%, that really means 100% or as I call it, my entire life. The company continually wants you to pay for expenses that will be reimbursed at a later time. In all honesty I thought it was some sort of a ponzi scheme at the start. Rarely do employers ask me for my own personal cash? I spent a grand, made 3 grand, then quit. I feel sorry for those who didn't do it in the manner I did. They probably lost out. Hotel rooms, food, gas, shipping cost all at your own expense. While being lectured why aren't you willing to pay? Whats wrong with you? Don't you care about our company? Enjoy your overtime by the way. 65 hours is mandatory. If you don't you'll be fired, or forced into quitting.
