Pros

They offer an incredible training package that is a leader amongst the industry. Other companies recognize your work experience at Kiewit, and will attempt to headhunt you once you have completed your ~4 years of training. Great company to work at when you are young and starting.

Cons

Such a large company that you can fall between the cracks. You also can be sent to work anywhere without much say in it. On Thursday you can be told that your plane leaves on Sunday, and that you are being relocated to go to work on a project. Tough company to work for when you are getting around 30 years old and want to settle down and have a family.

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.
