Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Kimley-Horn.
Intern
The interview process was very chill and conversational. They really care about you learning and growing with a good attitude, more than actual experience. It was a relaxed, 15-minute chat with an HR person about getting to know you. Expect questions about teamwork, what you like about civil engineering, and why you want to work at Kimley-Horn. Your personality and enthusiasm are as important as your technical background.
- What specific field within civil engineering sparks your interest?
Intern
The interview was about 2 hours long and included several short interviews with different teams, each focusing on a different part of the job. They asked a lot about my past jobs, how I communicate, and my experience in business development. Mostly, it was "tell me about a time when" type questions and "what was your role in x job?"
- Can you share an instance where you had to engage in a challenging discussion with a colleague?
- Tell me about your past work experiences.
- How would you describe your communication abilities?
Internship
I was reached out to by a recruiter and then interviewed with two different groups in the company. I went through two rounds but never heard anything back. I did reach out to my initial recruiter and he said that they were just taking a while to decide, however, I never heard back.
- Tell me about a time you had to process and summarize a large amount of information.
