Kimley-Horn reviews

You will always be on help desk in one way or another. No Kimley-Horn IS person is free from help desk no matter how long they are there. Career growth is very limited because you are seen as an expense and not someone that adds to the company like the engineers. Might want to notice that 5 IT people have quit in the last three months. The department contains less than 30 people nationwide so this is a lot.

Expect to spend most of your time chugging away at a computer for the first 4-5 years. The promotions can get a little political - I was very disappointed to the the promotion of somebody that stepped on others toes to rise to the top. The "extra-effort" culture can get a little annoying - mostly because the regional team micromanages everybody's billable hours. I am not sure that the company is going in a good direction. There are going to be some growing and adjusting pains as the company reaches a critical mass for the small markets which they typically serve and start to seek out the larger projects. They are starting to win projects with the big players in the industry and in so doing are becoming more similar to the big players (i.e. hiring big wigs with big names to win the big projects and moving people around to serve projects)
