Big Projects. Zero Focus on People. - Anonymous employee Jacobs Employee Review

Despite internal spin to the contrary, Jacobs has absolutely zero focus on people. The annual performance review is a sham that even management roll their eyes at; too many mid-level managers are motivated solely by metrics and spend zero time mentoring and developing talent; these same managers too often adopt a "if you don't like it, leave" attitude that results in the continual and senseless loss of key staff. The Buildings and Infrastructure team in Texas seems to be in self-destruct mode with great folk leaving in numbers even though there's a healthy marketplace with plenty of work.
