Pros

Very little, one or two good colleagues

Cons

No training, no boss, no advice, no support, no strong discipilinary leadership. Abundant hangers on, admin, Hr, Health nd Safety and other non-producers.Its incredible how the company survives with number of non-billable people it has. Must outnumber billable staff by far.

Pros

Hires top notch staff and encourages professional growth through tuition reimbirsement program. Company places a strong emphasis on safety. Company has a management structure that encourages a lot of interplay between the various levels in the company, with a lot of feedback from higher to lower levels.

Cons

Their annual review process is unnecessarily ponderous and drawn out. Also, opportunities for advancement are somewhat limited by the constraints of the contracts Jacobs Technology has with the Electronic Systems Center.
