Pros

Many of the people in Kleinfelder are very good and talented. This company has a lot of potential given the right direction by Senior Managment.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company focus has turned to the bottom line and return on investment. You are valued strictly based on either your utilization or sales. Fail at either of these and you are shelved in your career. In addition, the view by many is that their is too much of a "good old boy network" Those in the network are given a lot of opportunity and financial compensation. The rest are not.

Pros

Gained a lot of experience in the field Thorough onboarding and training Covered a required certification process Will help immensely for my future Overall, friendly and helpful employees

Cons

6:30 a.m. start time was a tough adjustment, but I ultimately got used to it. I did cry at the end of my time there, because I knew I would miss the people.

Pros

- lovely coworkers - some really cool projects since Kleinfelder wins lots of different types of projects! thankfully i had good relationships with the project managers, but peers that don't have a long history don't have enough work flow or don't get to work on projects they want to - very caring boss - flexible work from home policy

Cons

- incredibly repetitive sometimes - inconsistent work and stress related to staying billable - drab and uninspiring workplace energy - lots of non-optional travel - anyone other than my boss and direct peers was not caring - it's all just a bit corporate and no one is really in love with what they're doing - barely got raises consistent with inflation
