Pros

Provide a lot of opportunities for advancement for those who are willing to put the work in, travel, and keep learning.

Cons

Very long hours, very old world conservative company, but that may not be a bad thing as they were unfazed during the recession.

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.

Pros

You get to work on some big, interesting jobs and are given a high level of responsibility right away. Great way to gain some experience. Despite all the cons, there are some really excellent people at this company who want to make a difference and hold on to good employees.

Cons

The "culture" is just insane. I've found it's important to put in big hours to get appreciated even when it's not necessary. And watch out if you end up on a job that's not going so well - managers will take out their frustrations on younger employees and you will suffer regardless of your performance. There is a lot of crude behavior on and off the job, be careful who you associate with. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this job to a female. And you will have no life.
