Kiewit Corporation reviews

The only real perk Kiewit seems to offer is TDY they give you a few days off after you’ve worked your butt off for 3–4 weeks. But that’s supposed to make up for being stuck on a 40–50 hour salary with no straight time or real compensation beyond that, which just isn’t right. I don’t understand how we’re the #2 contractor and still can’t pay or take care of our own employees properly. Then they try to sell you on the stock program like it’s some great deal but once you’re in, you’re even more tied down than before. At a certain point, you’re basically expected to give up having a happy family, a stable relationship, or time with your kids. If you’re okay with being constantly away and feeling isolated, then sure but that’s not a sustainable way to live. You see it in the lack of stability, people burning out, relationships falling apart and the money isn’t even good enough to justify it.

A fantastic place for bright ambitious young people to begin their careers. Kiewit strives to be a meritocracy. If you show that you are capable, and if you seek out opportunities, you will get them—even if you’re younger than the typical person in the role. There’s also typically good training and support to be successful. You’ll work with high-achieving folks in high-profile projects, and more often than not you’ll be successful together. I also appreciate that Kiewit stays true to its values. I’ve never been asked to do anything unethical. If I stand up / bring up an issue related to safety our core values, I know management will have my back.
