Pros

Large company, lots of potential growth opportunities. Overall the people are friendly and the projects are interesting.

Cons

Sometimes the company can be "too large." You're hired for a specific task, and as a young engineer it may be challenging to move around.

Pros

The work is Challenging and rewarding. Everyone seems to work well together and everyone is treated fairly. The management is very good from the top the the lowest level. Safety is a top priority. And the pay is very good with good raises each year. The benefits are average.

Cons

Jacobs Technology is heavy into government contracts, when the federal budgets go down, so goes business. Aside from the government, there is little other business.
