Pros

- Above-market salary - Flexible schedule - Cutting-edge tools - Well respected by Wall Street

Cons

Focus on culture change in last few years has led to an aggressively secular progressive cultural environment. Intense focus on dividing people into respective demographic employee network groups or training you to be an "ally". Communications both internal and external increasingly focused on cultural events and causes championed by the left. If you have even slightly conservative or traditional values, just beware. "Future of work" remote environment creates additional challenges in team productivity and do not account for individual situations. Growth through acquisitions can create opportunities, but also an environment of constant change.

Pros

Just Flexible hours and nice office

Cons

They talk about the diversity and inclusion a lot. but nothing is done! in Australia they have started to make people redundant. They have targeted all the female migrants.

Pros

The benefits that Jacobs offers to their employees is hard to beat. Also, their concern for the employee's safety is unmatched. I have always felt welcome at Jacobs and that is rare for a company as big as Jacobs.

Cons

Generally the work is contract based so it is not necessarily steady, that being said they make it very easy to transfer to another Jacobs location very easily.
