Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities - the company takes on the most difficult projects and accomplishes near impossible tasks. Decent benefits - the starting wages and insurance packages are sufficient without much other support.

Cons

Extremely long hours - expect to work from 5 or 6 am to 7 or 8 pm. Extremely long weeks - expect to work on nearly all Saturdays and most Sundays. Harsh environment - expect to be setup to fail and the harshly criticized by management and peers. Distant locales - expect to move, every year, to another state. Marry your work - expect to have marital issues and lack of connections to people outside of work. (but don't despair, you can marry within the company among your subordinates!)

Pros

Decent pay for first year employees out of college but you will earn it. Expect to work 60 hours plus in the field. If in the district office then plenty of 50 hour weeks

Cons

Lots of unpaid overtime work. They have over hired so it's going to be hard to move up quickly in the company

Rewarding if You're in it for the Long Haul

Pros

Benefits package, salary, training, stock and high profile projects are the biggest benefits to working for Kiewit. Whether or not you are in it for the long haul, you will definately learn plenty and be exptected to teach others. Working for Kiewit is a huge resume builder if you find that you are unhappy working for the company.

Cons

Poor work-life balance. This company expects almost too much out of it's young engineers. I have worked here about 1.5 yrs and I am averaging about 75 hours per week. Some weeks have been over 80 hours. This leaves little time to have a life of my own. Moving frequently can also be a real pain but luckily I havent had to deal with this too much. The upper management has been really questionable in my opinion and I just haven't seen the leadership that I expected. They have a tendency to micromanage and decision making seems to be left to upper management. If you take stock, don't plan on being able to quit and make a profit off of it for at least 15 years. By this time you will have at least gone through one divorce because you will never have any time to see your family. Salaried employees are given every other weekend to fly home to be with family for 3 days. 3 divided by 14 = 21% of the time you will be home to be with your wife and children. I don't plan on working here after I get married. 5 years with Kiewit max.
