I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kimley-Horn in Dec 2014
Interview
I submitted my application online as well as attend info-sessions through my college. Through the info-session, I was able to talk to the recruiter and senior engineers. After less than a month, there was a quick phone interview to set up an in-person interview. It was followed with two rounds of in-person interviews that were about 1.5 hours each. Each round consisted of 45 minutes of traditional 1:1 interview followed with a casual 45 minutes interview over coffee.

Questions focused on previous experiences, future goals, and predictions to Los Angeles transportation systems.
I had a phone interview and an in person interview. The interviewers were very friendly and the interviews did not feel too intense. A lot of the interview questions were geared towards explaining the projects from my resume.

Over the phone interview with Human Resources. I was asked basic questions to get to know my work experience and my extracurricular activities. The interviewer was nice but never followed up through email.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Kimley-Horn (Oakland, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
HR was extremely disorganized. Had a 30min on-campus interview, which turned out well and HR gave me a 30min call later to re-confirm what I'm interested in. I was then scheduled to have a 45min phone interview with the transportation group I'd be working with, which went smoothly. The whole interview process took several months involving many hiccups with the HR.
Heard nothing back for ages and when I emailed to follow up, they said their hiring needs have changed.
Another friend interviewed with them and the HR messed up her flights, and booked a date that the interviewers would not be free, and cancelled the interview the day before my friend was going to fly out.
