Pros

This is a company that is striving to grow. My particular office had great people. Decent benefits, pay and time off. The company I worked for was bought out by Kleinfelder and they eased us into the transition well.

Cons

A growing company like this is challenging to work for, when things always feel like they are in flux. The company was trying to grow by buying out other companies and focusing on bigger clients. Upper management doesn't always understand what they are asking their people to do because of the multidisciplinary nature of the company (as is the case with many other corporate companies). Finally, keep Christ in Christmas. There's nothing to celebrate about winter.

Pros

Gain entry level experience and take this experience to a better run company Regional strengths but very inconsistent across the firm

Cons

1. Senior management cannot decide on how to organize and run company, changes every year 2. Stuck in 1990's way of doing business with no overarching strategy of how to grow 3. Vision to be a multi-faceted engineering design firm cannot happen with current senior and mid-levelmanagement who are long term Kleinfelder employees focused on geotechnical engineering and lab services 4. Cultural is very parochial and focused on local office capabilities and not team work, offices often compete for the same project against each other 5. Management's actions do not follow their words
