Pros

If your new to construction you will learn a great deal about the industry, Its a good place to work if your young, single, and dont have any kids. Three or fours years here and you should be able to run your own construction company.

Cons

Your life and everything in it will belong to Kiewit. 60 hours weeks are the norm. So, If you complete your work and leave early, you'll feel guilty. Work life balance is bad. Worst I've seen. Oh and if your a minority you will need to work twice as hard as your equals to earn respect.

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.
