Pros

Jacobs is the most gender neutral engineering/ construction company in the industry. And I have worked at a lot of them. It is more entrepreneurial than most companies 1/10 it's size.

Cons

Some people have difficulty in a matrix organization.

Pros

Salaried people can be paid OT. They will make...some...effort to keep you when there's slack work. Most of the workers are good people

Cons

Condescending management attitude Considerable nepotism Management strives to achieve zero credibility. The most well defined dividing line between the haves and the have-nots. And they love to rub it in.

Pros

Good pay and plenty of hours. On the larger projects, there are many tasks that need attention and it is easy to volunteer for the assignment if the tasks are challenging.

Cons

Most managers are just polititians trying to reach the next tier up and climb the Corporate Ladder on the backs of others below them. Management is largely clueless what goes on in the field.
