Pros

It's a healthy mid-size company, with decent benefits and a good work environment. Intra-office and inter-office cooperation is encouraged and recipricated. The company is growing despite a faltering economy. THe annual company sponsured technical seminar facilitates the exchange of ideas between offices within the company.

Cons

The managers use regulations to take advantage of employees sometimes. Salaried employees are often expected to work 60-hour weeks with no compensation. Billability is stressed to the point of absurdity. And this leads to a significant loss of employee morale and employee loyalty. Some managers have missed the boat on keeping up with the newest industry technologies and actively discourage the professional growth or opinions of young employees.

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
