Pros

Flexible work hours. After you hold some big projects to yourself, you can do nothing with everybody working hard for you. Network and good relationship with important clients and managers are critical.

Cons

Jacobs doesn't care about their employees. Internal competition is intense. And all they care is billable hours and projects. Turnover rate of junior staff is insanely high.

Pros

The office location is convenient. Flexible hours. Most of the employees are good. The salary is fair.

Cons

Too top heavy with many overlaps. Delegate and deflect seems to be the name of the game when it comes to responsibilities. Pretending like you know what you are doing gets you further than actually doing good work.
