Pros

Fast paced work with a manageable but difficult learning curve. They provide numerous resources for learning and have a strong mentor program for entry level engineers.

Cons

This office is very busy and work is sporadic a lot of the time. Projects are shifted around between lead engineers depending on work load. There is a lot of work outsourcing to Jacobs offices abroad, which can make coordination and communication of problems difficult at times.
