      Great place for a challenging career

      Pros

      Great range of projects, including large and technically challenging ones that really allow employees to expand their capabilities and grow as professionals. There are some great people that are really enjoyable to work with. Excellent senior technical staff which provide great mentorship opportunities. The company recognizes and invests in its technical staff and capabilities. Based on my observations, advancement in the company is merit based, not a "good-old-boys" mentality or "political" as some reviewers have suggested.

      Cons

      The company has undergone a lot of growth and in recent years the growth has focused on diversifying services lines. At the same time, there has been ongoing internal restructuring efforts. All of this change has come with some growing pains, but has positioned the company very well for the future. Those that are not adept at change and evolution in their work place have experienced difficulties. Large firm-type administrative bureaucracy is sometimes cumbersome.

      Went downhill quickly

      Pros

      Used to be a very employee orieniented company that allowed you the freedom to be innovative and allow for professional growth. Problem is it is all used to be.

      Cons

      Definate old boys network where if you aren't from California or in with the boys you will go nowhere, allow incompetent managers to remain in place way too long, allow talent to walk out the door, are more interested in doing it the Kleinfelder way instead of doing it the right way, has gone downhill as they have expanded. I really question how some of their offices stay in business. I think they are more worried about having dots on a map than actually operating good offices.
