I have been with Kleinfelder for 5 years. Overall, it's a good place to work. My pay has increased significantly since I started, which is a big positive. I have learned a lot and worked on some very interesting projects. It is a great place to gain experience and offers adequate promotional potential. The project managers and senior scientists are knowledgeable and reasonable. Benefits are above average from what I've seen from other colleagues around the industry. I telecommute a few days a week, which helps the work/life balance.
Cons
No straight pay overtime, but a lot of overtime hours worked (mostly for field work). Work-life balance can be difficult when there are deadlines or large field efforts.

Thank you, for taking the time to provide Kleinfelder with feedback. There is great value in hearing about the pros and the cons from current employees. Your advice will be shared with the appropriate members of management. Again, thank you!
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.

Thank you so much for leaving a review! We're so glad your internship experience at Kleinfelder was a positive one ... we hope you'll be able to return some day!
- 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
