Pros

Great pay. I was able to work alongside other knoweldgeable engineers from several disciplines.

Cons

As a contractor Jacobs primary concern is generating billable hours. Career development for employees is basically an afterthought.

A long way to go, but heading in the right direction.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company involved in many different industries and projects. There are opportunities to gain different skill sets, rather than be pigeon-holed in a smaller company. The company is moving in the right direction and although sometimes frustrating, changes are being seen when integrating the many acquisitions it has made over the past few years. The company has a good ethos and a sound moral foundation, although these are not always remembered be middle management. The flexible working scheme which incudes a 9-day fortnight can be seen as a positive if this is something you haven't experienced before.

Cons

Being American run, the do expect every drop of blood out of you. There is a long hours culture which is engrained over the facade of a work-life balance ideal. The recent company-wide salary freeze, whilst seeing like a prudent step, is sickening when employees are continually being told how Jacobs are generating record turnover and profits quarter on quarter, year on year. The company can also be very disjointed between offices and only senior management having contact with other Jacobs’s businesses. Training is also thin on the ground and they are very reluctant to send people on external courses. Internal courses are of questionable technical value and are usually statutory training.

The industry is up and down, with boom and bust cycles. It's difficult to move around within company and on to other projects.
