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

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
