Pros

Great Benefit Package Great Opportunity for Travel

Cons

Have worked at Kiewit for 3.5 years. Was hired at 40 hours per week. Continually pressured to work longer hours. Recently was told hours are now 50 plus--no exceptions. I am a wife and mother. I work to live, I do not live to work. I am enraged that the company lies to entice prospective employees. I would have never quit my 40 hour a week job to work for Kiewit if they were honest of the expectations.

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.
