Pros

Great pay based on my experience and skills. Options for 401k were good.

Cons

Co-workers sizing each other up. Co-workers disgruntled due to Kleinfelder buy out of their smaller firm. Poor communication between supervisors to field techs (no one informed me of being let go or terminating my contract). I was not informed that my supervisor no longer worked for the company (despite my send emails weekly with my availability for months). Found out I was let go through the 401k transfer notice.

Pros

Depending on the department you work with, people are very nice. They are respectful of your time and can have a good work life balance. There is training and mentorship programs available if you want to progress your career.

Cons

Lots of nepotism and favorites that will make you feel unappreciated. No one will be willing to help you because they have to meet utilization goals. Management is only there to get you in trouble or question how or what you spend you time on. Will get pulled in multiple directions and still get in trouble for missing something.
