Pros

A sense of accomplishment because of the large well-known projects that one gets to work on. Pay is very well due to the long hours. Hourly wage is a bit below a 40 hour job though. Kiewit is an excellent place for young engineers to gain construction experience which is very practical for consulting engineering. Kiewit offers a lot of in house training from on-site training to going to Omaha for week long courses. All expense paid. Get an extra week off during Christmas time when senior management recognizes their employees also have a family and a life outside of work.

Cons

Very long hours, possible shift work and sometimes have to work on weekends.

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.
