Pros
You get what you put in. This company is built for people who want to work hard and be rewarded for their efforts.
Cons
Culture can vary office to office and manager to manager.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Kimley-Horn has some of the best benefits and overall compensation package I've seen before. The 401(k) and bonus program are unmatched in the industry, and the health benefits are pretty standard. This is an excellent place for someone to quickly learn and progress through their career, as there are many opportunities for young engineers to step into roles often not given young engineers at other firms.
Cons
This is not a job for someone who wants to put in a basic 40-hour work week and coast through their career. The benefits are fantastic, but that also comes with an expected average 45 hour work week depending on the workload of the department. Management is usually flexible with schedules, but projects often require staying late at the office to meet deadlines.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Interesting and exciting types of projects - Office has a lot of young people and is over half women which is not super common for an engineering firm - Compensation is far more than anything I was offered in the public sector - Great work atmosphere and everyone works really well as a team - Flexibility with schedules - The company paid for my professional exam, fees, prep courses, etc. and is supportive of any additional training I feel is necessary for the work that we do I was hesitant to accept a job with Kimley-Horn based on what I had heard from other people about the long hours but that has not been an issue at all. I consistently work about 45 hours per week which I would expect as a consulting firm but I am more than compensated for my time. I am also extremely passionate about planning so most of the time it doesn't feel like work. I've had multiple jobs and internships in the public and private sector and this is my favorite place I've worked so far.
Cons
Honestly, it's hard to find a cons. The St. Pete office is a really great place to work, but I'm sure each office has it's own flavor/feel. I'd recommend anyone interviewing, or on the fence, take advantage of the time in the interview to ask about the office's culture and make sure you get a good vibe from the people you would be working with or for.

Pros
The entrepreneurial and fast-paced environment with all of the support of an excellent corporation creates opportunities that cannot be found elsewhere. My colleagues are top notch.
Cons
Ensuring communication throughout the organization takes work. We are all very busy but work is more enjoyable when we also take the time to get to know one another.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great profit sharing if you stick around for 6 years. Optimistic work environment and great people to work with. The company will give you all the tools you need to be successful and will help you further your career. They also do a great job of trying to advance your technical skills.
Cons
Expect to work 46-50 hours a week as standard. The time you get off in the evening can frequently be unpredictable (making it sometimes difficult to have firm plans with friends after work). It is common for deadlines to require you to work late (7pm-ish). Occasionally it will be even later. Most people are out of the office by 2pm on Friday, so expect to work 40-44 hours between Mon-Thurs.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great people who all share a common goal in getting projects done on time with quality deliverables. Great benefits. Half-Day Fridays. "One-Profit Center" means teams across the firm aren’t fighting over resources and greater mobility to shift employees to other teams and projects.
Cons
"Extra Effort" work culture. You will work more than 40 hours per week, even with half-day fridays. You need to work here for 6 years to become fully vested. 401k contributions dont kick in until you have 1 year work experience. 401k and profit sharing benefits dont hit your account until February of each year. "One-profit center" could have negative consequences that I cannot yet speak to with my level of experience.

Pros
Retirement is massive and so helpful
Cons
time worked can be really inconsistent
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits, coworkers you love working with, high compensation, and more autonomy to do what you love and passionate about than you will find anywhere in the industry. This is a place where you are recognized for your contributions and rewarded accordingly.
Cons
This is not a 40 hour work week environment, but it also isn't a 55+ hour work week environment either. The company has a philosophy of extra effort and generally likes employees to average 44-46 hours per week over the course of the year.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-Lots of work, can get into anything you express interest in doing because there is plenty of work to go around -Great support in pursuing PE licensure -fun office environment
Cons
-Expectation of 45-50 hour work week -poor work life balance and a culture that fosters workaholics -High utilization/billable goal -Resistant to change/ a bit conservative when it comes to integrating new technology/practices -Conservative energy extends to policies ex. required in person work throughout the pandemic BEFORE vaccinations were available, extremely strict when it comes to work from home/ only allowed as a one off due to qualifying excuses
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Fantastic culture, unlimited growth opportunities, autonomy over your career and trajectory. Flexibility with schedule. Top notch supervisors
Cons
Wish I would have found them sooner
