Pros

The name. In the construction world you can go anywhere with a few years of Kiewit on your resume. The training opportunities are world class. They make sure you know what you are doing before they cut you lose to screw up their jobs. Number one thing at Kiewit is building a quality project a the maximum level of profitability.

Cons

Moving. This is the only thing that makes me think I will ever leave. You don't have an opportunity to settle into one place for too long before you have to pick up and chase the next high dollar project in another city.

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.
