Kiewit Corporation Reviews

Cons

Sometimes long hours, but they are worth it!

Cons

To many hours, but that is such in the industry.

Cons

A bit like school, where you have to ask to use the restroom.

Cons

The only way I've seen to "make it" in this company is to get in with management, and others agree. If you don't brown-nose the higher ups, your career will become stale. Lots of middle management get through with little to no work. Work hours can be tough occasionally, but that is to be expected with this industry. Company has taken pieces of benefits away consistently in recent years: 401K match, gym reimbursement, field pay increases, etc. Lots of hurts on projects even though they preach safety as being number one priority. They also stress that people are one of their greatest assets, but do little to ensure each employee is actually taken care of (their mentoring program vanished within a year or two of me starting working for them). Stress their exceptional benefits package as a means to justify lower-than-average pay, while the benefits are quite similar to other construction companies. Absolutely alarming rate of turnover.

Cons

Work to life ratio. They expect you to work 70hr weeks.

Cons

Long work hours and short timelines

Cons

If you're not a white male, you find yourself earning less, moving more, and being transferred more often. White males are predominantly owners of the company. Go to the head office in Omaha and there are only white faces.

Cons

Clear Lack of Diversity/Minorities with Only Lip Service Approach to Fix. Favoritism. Salary lacks. Constant Relocation, Which Can Get Old Quick. Poor Work/Life Balance

Cons

Many positions require extra work. Environment also tended to be clich-y.

Cons

Barely any maternity leave (5 weeks short-term disability coverage + any PTO), very little diversity in the home office
