Pros

You can do what you like if you’re in the right click.

Cons

Incompetent management on site at Sizewell B Power Staton. The Operations Manager is up there with as being one of the biggest mongs in the planet. The site lead hangs off him like his life depends on it. Lots of staff not actually qualified to do their job. Lots of wasted money on salaries for people who don’t do a lot - interesting considering the price of energy at the moment. Properly the general public should get a chance to spend a day in Investment Delivery to see how much of an easy ride it is.

Pros

- Excellent opportunities within the company. Many, many departments & positions to choose from. Jacobs has almost everything engineering related, particularly Civil. - Work/life balance is good; Jacobs advocates remote work if applicable to your position. - Generous PTO, increases with more tenure. - Great benefits (ESPP, health, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Traditional 401k & Roth 401k). - Matching for both Traditional 401k & Roth 401k.

Cons

- Did not see growth from within; positions opened up within my team and no one was getting promoted despite very competent track records. Did not feel that there was room to grow. - Non-management employees were not bonus eligible; seems that it is only for regional management. - Corporate's effort to increase employee engagement was sub-par. - Pay is on the lower side compared to other companies in the same industry.
