Pros

Some growth but not as much as advertised Pretty average corporate business Proud to work with some of the staff I met there-there are some very good people there. However, there has been massive brain drain lately.

Cons

Not enough communication between management and staff Will lay off experienced employees over new employess regardless how valuable they have been for the company. No training-left too much on own-left out of improving oneself on job. EE's become out of sight out of mind in remote work Lack of support from management Private equity managment-corporate bottom line only matters Health benefits are expensive for employees Will not give "exceeds expectations" overall (even when one does) so raises are low mostly. Utilizations are not calculated correctly, for instance, taking vacation time (that is part of your benefits) is counted as zero utilization rather than 100%, and thus you have to battle getting up utilization, which counts against you in reviews and puts you in danger of losing the job. They withheld wage increases when covid for everyone but only deferred increases for top 1%. They never compensated in subsequent years for this even though the company superseded sales quotas and profits.

Pros

Gained a lot of experience in the field Thorough onboarding and training Covered a required certification process Will help immensely for my future Overall, friendly and helpful employees

Cons

6:30 a.m. start time was a tough adjustment, but I ultimately got used to it. I did cry at the end of my time there, because I knew I would miss the people.

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
