Pros

Top notch and a huge breath of resources are available to engineers. Senior staff is busy but commonly takes time out of their day to answer any questions other engineers have.

Cons

My experience tells me KPFF sells themselves a little high. Still a solid company.

Pros

I like the diversity of projects. Equal division of transportation, site development and international work. Take your pick. It's satisfying to see and work on so many projects that define Portland and the surrounding towns - Portland Airport, Convention Center, Oregon Zoo, Chinese and Japanese Gardens, East Bank Esplanade, multiple buildings and bridges, etc. It's never boring.

Cons

Could use more mid level staff.
