Pros

There are some reasons that Jacobs Engineering is a good company to work for. There are plenty of locations either domestic or international in which to work if you do not feel like working at a certain location. There are plenty of different job classifications, and lots of different bosses or managers who have different dispositions. The opportunities are abundant for entry into the company. Jacobs could be a good company to work for if they promoted a little quicker, offered a little more money even if the clients do not agree and acknowledge accomplishments or strives of its employees.

Cons

I got pidgeon holed, did a good job but if I wanted to leave the location, no one else wanted it, so I could not go anywhere. I have heard that they are good to work for but the pay I received was not satisfactory. I told my supervisor about my feelings but he could not find anything in his area that would correct the situation. I dont know how hard he looked or if he looked outside his area to help me. I really did not feel "at home" at this company so I really needed to look farther in my search.
