Pros

A decent culture-Preaches Safety 401k match is good Decent amount of flexibility (depending on your assignment and contract) Allows remote work when possible

Cons

Upper Management Incompetence Health insurance is not competitive bottom 5% of all companies in the US Company is everywhere and internally you don't know about 90% of what other people are doing... Horrible communication from upper management Jacobs is buying up cyber companies left and right (most recently blue canopy and KeyW). Their strategy to buy cyber companies is a good one, but that is about their only strategy. They had no plan on what happens after that. It is a complete disaster with management all the way up to the CEO. They have zero idea on how to deal with cyber/IT folks. They are finding out real quickly that their horrific approach didn't work. There is a mass departure currently going on especially in the new disaster "Cyber BU". The word on the street is out, so I am not entirely sure there is any way out at this point. Go ask any of the big time recruiting companies (randstand, insight global, etc.. ), and they will tell you. The cyber community is a tight niche group that doesn't deal with nonsense. Jacobs is in trouble. I am convinced they won't be able to recruit quality talent without a complete restructure. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for now....
