Pros

Level of technical skills needed for projects are unique and challenging.

Cons

Projects may not be well thought out. Deadlines to meet budgets so that regional P&L numbers look good is a big con. Little feedback from senior management, high turnover, information about layoffs and downsizing at the end of 2009 and early 2010 was not handled in a professional manner.

The diversity of work you get involved with is amazing. Jacobs has also aquired a large group of very experienced engineers and has the young generation work side-by-side with the experienced

Cons

Jacobs is such a large company that every office is almost its own entity.

It's a fine place to work if you want to work 9-5 every day with no career progression.
