Pros

Consistant employer. Fellow employees are very competant and in general pleasant and thoughtfull. office conditions are more than acceptable and the office location is quite convenient for daily commuting

Cons

No bonuses are provided although consideration is made for exceptional work effort. jacobs is a very large corporation and can sometimes seem more interested in making wall street happy than any other priority

Pros

Great Hours. Worthwhile work and great people to work with. Lots of help and mentors available and the ability to move laterally or vertically.

Cons

Very few cons, being a large company means you can get lost in the mix. Keep doing well and good things will come your way.

Pros

Decent hourly pay rate Adequate benefits package 401(k) match and stock options That's pretty much it. They compensate well for the work we do. Don't expect more.

Cons

Weak management practices lead to incompetent people getting ahead, while truly proficient, dedicated workers get dismissed. Often times, there is no supervision and the "right" people take advantage of this by acting-out antics and unethical behavior.
