Pros

- Working for Kiewit, I have been exposed to many challenges and constant learning opportunities. - Kiewit has a family feel and you will likely make some lifelong friends. - I have had a lot of opportunities to travel and see other areas in North America. - Kiewit is not looking for "rental employees"- they are looking for their future management. - Ultimately, if you are honest and work hard, you will be rewarded.

Cons

As many have said, it is a challenge to balance your life and work. I do feel, at least in Canada, that we are slowly improving on this front. Yes, I have lived in camps. Yes, I know what a 20 hour work day feels like. But I also know the satisfaction of looking a a huge project and knowing I helped make that happen.

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.
