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.

Not all equal

Pros

Good work environment, typical office setting. Not bad benefits, good 401K. They feed you a lot and you do get lots of "gifts" such as lunch boxes, cups, etc.

Cons

Not everyone is equal with this company. Some are allowed to goof off and do what they want while others have to cover their jobs, plus do their own jobs. Those that work hard and dedicated don't get anywhere. There are different rules for different employees, some can come and go as they please while others actually work their full 8 hours.

Pros

The company will recognize your potential and give you opportunities to pursue them. Laid back work environment. Worksharing across offices is a big plus - the advances in technology and the company's initiative to push these technologies have made this a success. If you want to be an A+ player, they will let you - and give you opportunities.

Cons

Typical office environment, and some negatives that are associated with that.
