Pros

Decent pay, good benefits. If you really like construction work, can manage people, and are willing to forget your hobbies or interests than building things, you can retire a millionaire with this company. If you like do things in life other than work, or don't have the managment ability to climb the ladder, then this company will give you a great resume when you decide to move on in a few years.

Cons

Long hours. I have personally seen several divorces. If you have a wife, she better have a job that can relocate her as often as you, generally at least once a year, or get used to being home once a month for a long weekend to see her and the kids(if you have them).

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.
