Pros

If you are in an office with key senior leaders and you have good mentors, it's a great company to work for. Lots of opportunity for advancement, excellent large projects.

Cons

If you are in an out-of-the-way office and/or working for a boss who doesn't advocate for you, it can be a dead-end for junior employees. The company recently discontinued overtime pay for all but field technicians - you'll be salaried with "opportunities for bonuses" that rarely make up for what the overtime would have provided.

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
