      Pros

      Benefits are decent, about the same as other companies. Vacation is better than others depending on your experience. You get 17 days of PTO with less than 5 years of experience, accrue them at about 4.4 hours per pay period, and can bank up to 300 hours. More experience = faster accrual up to 8 hours per pay period. Culture is generally pretty good and they are a relatively progressive company compared to others in the industry. They offer a mentoring program.

      Cons

      No sick time in addition to PTO Learning skills and developing your career is more on the sink or swim side but not as bad as others. Utilization targets for most staff range from 70 to 90%. Proposals are not considered billable hours. Billable hours can be hard to come by when you’re starting out, but within about a year you’ll have plenty of work. PMs and Principals are generally extremely busy.

      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
