Pros

Jacobs works for me because although I received training and guidance I was not micromanaged. I have some flexibility on my work hours and no one tell me how to do my job as long I am efficient. In my first month with the company I had a chance to have lunch with the global VP and meet a few other big shots. There is no routine and since we work with several projects at a time, everyday is different. I enjoy the challenge of running different jobs at once and co-workers are very friendly and helpful.

Cons

The paying is not great at my level. Another downside is that the company uses less technology than other similar business. I still like the experience I am getting here.

Pros

Jacobs Field Services, was one of the most comprehensive and professional contract services companies I have ever worked for, the atmosphere was pleasent as were the people.

Cons

The down side was as with all contract service companies, contracts run out and projects are finished, Jacobs field services is overall a great company, there are no downsides
