Kimley-Horn Secures Third Place on Fortune Consulting Best Workplaces

The recognition follows an extensive analysis of survey data from over 125,000 employees within the consulting industry. Great Place To Work administered the assessment, utilizing its proprietary Trust Index to measure organizational health and staff satisfaction. For the Raleigh-based firm, this latest accolade adds to a string of 2026 honors, including appearances on Fortune’s lists for parents and women, as well as the annual 100 Best Companies to Work For ranking.

Kevin Schanen, a principal at the firm, attributed the consistent success to a business model that aligns employee benefits and internal culture with client-facing performance. With more than 11,000 employees across 175 North American offices, the firm focuses on a unified team structure to maintain its competitive edge. By prioritizing a people-first environment, management aims to balance profitability with the long-term retention of top engineering and design talent.
