Business Outlook
Pros
With a network of technical resources over different geography, you get good chances to work on projects at various locations and to learn different local practices. The management plans to make significant changes to the company organization, which are viewed very positively and are expected to move the company in a better direction and out of the long term stagnation.
Cons
More senior engineers than junior to middle level engineers at some office locations, which lead to lack of internal growth opportunities.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate the details that you have shared with us, it is very helpful!
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.

Thank you so much for leaving a review! We're so glad your internship experience at Kleinfelder was a positive one ... we hope you'll be able to return some day!
- 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
