Pros

I have had a very rewarding career so far. I have been promoted numerous times in a short time frame. Kiewit will load you up with as much responsibility as you can handle. There are no set timelines for promotions. It's up to you to show that you are ready for more. The people are great. If you are young, you will make lots of friends and genuinely have a good time. The stock program is amazing. It makes it very difficult to ever think about leaving the company.

Cons

You must move all over the US from job to job approximately every year. If your spouse doesn't move with you (which most don't) you only get to go home every 3rd weekend for a 3 day weekend. Most of upper management has poor family lives because of the immense strain the lifestyle puts on them. Raises and most other compensation (going home every 2nd week vs. 3rd week) are based strictly on economic situation not on what the employees actually deserve.

Pros

Very Safety oriented, outfitted their crews with supplies and equipment without question, listened to employee questions and concerns and addressed them. Provided good facilities with heat and A/C as needed, coffee machines, microwaves, refrigerators, etc. Union contractor with the associated pay and benefits. Known to be an employer where people stay long term.

Cons

Long hours and detail oriented work but thats just the nature of the work. Some of the safety restrictions were a bit overboard.

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.
