Pros

Some flexibility in roles and for technical staff there are many avenues to enhance career.

Cons

THis firm focuses on advancement and the career pathing of technical staff. If you are not technical then you have to really work hard at advancement.

Pros

Many of the people in Kleinfelder are very good and talented. This company has a lot of potential given the right direction by Senior Managment.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company focus has turned to the bottom line and return on investment. You are valued strictly based on either your utilization or sales. Fail at either of these and you are shelved in your career. In addition, the view by many is that their is too much of a "good old boy network" Those in the network are given a lot of opportunity and financial compensation. The rest are not.

Pros

Now that I have been out of the company for several years now, it is really difficult to note the positives of the current management regime

Cons

Recent management never seems to listen to the rank and file. It is an "Old Boys Club"... and the direct shareholder group is a "Who You Know Club" where one has to be both nominated and voted on before becoming a member. Bad managers are rarely ever fired... Instead they are demoted and allowed to stay on with the hope that they will get frustrated enough to quit.
