Pros

Work Schedule (4-9hr, 1-4hr work week). Ability to work from home via Citrix connection. Travel. Ability to travel to different offices/projects.

Cons

My office is lacking leadership and sales. We are lucky to be small enough that we can get work from other offices. Jacobs is a big company and change is often hard to achieve and the process is slow. Jacobs grows by purchasing other firms. This results in a lot of different groups doing things in different ways. Sometimes that can be good, but often interoffice work suffers because of the different "standards"

Pros

Very diverse group of people, projects and clients. If you find the right Project Manager or Supervisor, you can get involved on just about any type of project you may be qualified for.

Cons

Constant concern of losing your job, especially if you aren't at least 85% billable. Company is quick to put staff on modified full or modified part time if not continually highly billable....if you're lucky.
