Pros

-Work on large projects, including private, local, State and Federal work -Okay benefits -Okay employee stock allocation (if you last 5 years to be fully vested)

Cons

-Low moral and a general feeling of discontent among the majority of employees -To stay for the long hall at Kleinfelder you absolutely have to toe the line, join the 'old boys club', and become an owner, which requires singing the praises of the company at all times. -Questionable ethical practices that have resulted in the company being excluded from numerous municipal entities; mostly regarding the companies opaque billing practices. -Poor senior management and constant restructuring -Very bureaucratic with an obvious distrust of 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
