Advice to Management

Don’t overwork your good employees. Distribute work evenly not just to one or two people in the team. Listen to your team when they tell you change needs to happen or you will keep loosing good hard working employees. Treat everyone equally. Say something when others are slacking off and taking too many breaks or very long breaks. We need people to be logged in and ready to work by 8:00am not 8:05 or 8:15am this affects...

Pros

Kiewit is a very stable company with a storied history. Being employee owned, they don't have please external shareholders with short-term gains. This frees management to engage in longer term planning and it is evident in their longevity.

Cons

No company is perfect and even the founder of Kiewit believed in continuous improvement. So, change is expected and usually for the better. The technology group itself went through many reorganizations during my tenure, thus I had more bosses and physical moves than years with the company.

Advice to Management

Now that you have updated, world-class technology and a solid technical team, focus on quality with stability to achieve a sustainable level of change for your technology group.

Pros

Great pay for a first job after graduating college Younger generations (20-40 y/o) are high-energy people and driven

Cons

Very political with raises, promotions, etc. "Promotions" do not come with a pay raise - raises are completely at the discretion of the higher-ups, which is where the politics come in Company "Lifers" have no regard for safety or quality and directly cause the company to loose time and money.

Advice to Management

Company "Lifers" have no regard for safety or quality and directly cause the company to loose time and money. Kiewit will not replace or weed out these individuals, instead bouncing them around between jobs until they cause enough damage to get put in a position where their responsibilities are essentially none.

Pros

Benefits, pay, Culture, work space, communication

Cons

At my location I felt like it was who you know when it came to progressing with the company.

Advice to Management

Pros

Kiewit has Great benefits and great insurance

Cons

you only get opportunity to move higher if you are good at socializing with the higher up at the bar especially. Provides you opportunity only if you work to keep your boss happy.

Advice to Management

please be fair to employee whether in field or office since if you dont work in office field cannot accomplish their goals . And during annual review please stop giving reason as field get higher raises since thats where the money is made and office people dont get that high raises.
