KPFF Design Engineer reviews

-Office Politics. Some Senior Staff and Management can be accused of favoritism and avoiding responsibilities. -Almost no technical and management mentorship to younger/entry-level staff. -Blame-game is a big part of the culture and people are not valued. All they seem to care about is the money and profits of the bonus pool. -There are almost no helpful performance reviews. The managers are not aware of how and what you worked on throughout the year and what aspects should you improve on.

Often long hours and stressful work. The compensation is on the lower end in the industry. Management only hires entry level and train them for the job - the company lack mid-level(4-8 years) experienced people, unfortunately the people in this range leave for better opportunities and pay elsewhere. The work hours are "flexible", but you are still expected to come into the office 5 days a week ~8 hours per day, so perhaps not as flexible as they say. (You are not allowed to be on a 4/10 schedule or work from home for example). The parking in DTLA is very expensive and is only covered partially by the company.
