Pros

Flexible work hours. After you hold some big projects to yourself, you can do nothing with everybody working hard for you. Network and good relationship with important clients and managers are critical.

Cons

Jacobs doesn't care about their employees. Internal competition is intense. And all they care is billable hours and projects. Turnover rate of junior staff is insanely high.
