Pros

Kiewit is a diversified construction contractor with great resources that allows the company to perform big work. While the company excels on risky projects that are stressful, the people make the job seem effortless. There is opportunity for rapid advancement and Kiewit has a good training program for 0-5 year employees. Kiewit does not have the highest compensation package in the industry but the needs of the employees are typically met with greater rewards coming after 10 years. The safety of all personnel is a high priority.

Cons

Kiewit is a heavy civil contractor first. Historically the work is not in one location and therefore most of the employees are required to move job to job. Dependent on location, seasonal work windows, and the practice of schedule acceleration can create very long hours. Kiewit is a large organization with many districts (regional offices) that joint venture often. While there is healthy competition between these districts, there also exists a heated political arena.

Pros

Very Safety oriented, outfitted their crews with supplies and equipment without question, listened to employee questions and concerns and addressed them. Provided good facilities with heat and A/C as needed, coffee machines, microwaves, refrigerators, etc. Union contractor with the associated pay and benefits. Known to be an employer where people stay long term.

Cons

Long hours and detail oriented work but thats just the nature of the work. Some of the safety restrictions were a bit overboard.

Pros

Able to work on cool projects and potential to make a lot of money with cola

Cons

If you're ambitious at all, I probably wouldn't recommend working here. The pay is decent and if you're willing to stick around for 20+ years, you'll likely do just fine. But for me, the pace was too slow, the work was boring, and I never felt like I was doing anything meaningful or driving real business impact. The company is very stable, but that stability comes with tradeoffs. Career progression felt like a slow grind, and there was always the possibility of being forced to relocate depending on business needs. Personally, if you're young, motivated, and want to accelerate your career, I'd look for a role where you're directly contributing to growth, revenue, or strategic decision-making. If you're set on finance/FP&A, Kiewit can be a good place to spend a year and build experience, but I'd use it as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination. Just my experience. —it just wasn't for me. - stayed 2 years - too long.
