lovely coworkers, but uninspiring corporate vibe prevails

Staff geotechnical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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

Business Outlook

Pros

Good safety culture. The company sends you very nice work equipment. KLF east cultural team is a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Relies on one client so seasonal leave is almost an annual necessity as work dries up often. The NorCal cultural team management is poor at best. Cliquey and passive aggressive behavior.
