Kleinfelder reviews

- Poor employee morale due to multiple layoffs over the past 5 years - Complete overhaul of organization every 2-3 years - Upper management is primarily "good old boy" network - Struggling to transition from offices everywhere to regional centers - Senior management lack of connection to staff except for financial metrics - Lack of senior-level commitment to safety (all talk, no action) - Poor overall safety record results in missed business opportunities - Utilization requirement is high but lack of viable plan for additional business opportunities creates high tension among employees. - Firm is showing lack of operations management skills with panic-based layoffs and lack of realistic planning during low point of economy. - Construction Testing Services suffering due to incompatibility with union (PLA) wage agreements ( time to sell off this unit) - Antiquated time/accounting system - 2015 Plan requires acquisition of other firms, which necessitates internal layoffs due to debt loading. - Separation of delivery versus marketing sounds good but only when backlog can support the isolation of the two groups.

Lacks diversity. If you're a woman expect to be demoted or laid off and the male staff you have trained and supervised will take your place. Has happened three times in the last six months. All those dedicated, hard-working people are leaving.
