Pros

Jacobs is a large company with many oppurtunities in various industries including Oil & Gas and Department of Defense. They offer competitive benefits packages and is a stable company to work for.

Cons

Divisions of Jacobs tend to be fairly independent of one another, each working for its own end for the good of the whole.

Pros

Location is the best benefit! Destin has the prettiest beaches in the world, and that's a fact! Benefits package has numerous options and choices for your needs. Matching 401(k) package and Jacobs stock purchase plan options. Flexible work hours with optional compressed schedule.

Cons

Very low morale due to huge lay-offs, can't win any contracts, and resistence to change, Upper and middle management has condescending attitude, rejects most inputs from lower-levels, especially if not solicited, but always communicates that everything is wonderful; even the day before lay-offs.

Pros

Initial salary is OK but you have hard time getting raises

Cons

their is no long term relationship building between employees and management. It is like your hired for one job and then good luck. The company is cheap in how it deals with employees.
