Good people but no longer employee-owned

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Positive work atmosphere. Co-workers are great.

Cons

Company is no longer employee-owned (now owned by private equity). A significant number of upper level and top level leaders are new to the company, so institutional knowledge and company culture are being lost.

Business Outlook

Pros

Kleinfelder continues to evolve and has a bright future. The current senior leadership team is progressive, focused on employees, and enables staff to perform at their highest level. Training opportunities and benefits also improve each year. Our CEO is approachable and makes many office visits to stay in touch with staff.

Cons

From an information technology standpoint, Kleinfelder does a great job at providing staff with the latest software platforms and equipment. Challenges occur when it comes to training on the new platforms, which rarely occurs. This often leads to a loss of time (and money).
