Pros

For someone looking for professional growth opportunities, Kleinfelder allows those willing to take on more challenges more room to grow into those challenges. More like a smaller company in this regard.

Cons

It is not a small company, and although there is the chance to move to/through other offices, you can feel disconnected from the corporate leadership.

Pros

I have been with Kleinfelder for 5 years. Overall, it's a good place to work. My pay has increased significantly since I started, which is a big positive. I have learned a lot and worked on some very interesting projects. It is a great place to gain experience and offers adequate promotional potential. The project managers and senior scientists are knowledgeable and reasonable. Benefits are above average from what I've seen from other colleagues around the industry. I telecommute a few days a week, which helps the work/life balance.

Cons

No straight pay overtime, but a lot of overtime hours worked (mostly for field work). Work-life balance can be difficult when there are deadlines or large field efforts.

Pros

New global manager has started to make his (positive) mark on the culture of the organization and this is permeating through the rest of the business. Wide variety of projects attracts a great bunch of talented individuals Despite some recent issues with staff turnover, there are several employees from all levels who have been here for 5 years +, many of whom have come up through the ranks Opportunities for exposure to international projects

Cons

No major cons - staff retention issues are being addressed and the "vibe" is definitely a lot more positive than it was even just a year ago.
