Pros

Flexible time schedule, Fridays off with four ten hour days work schedule. Piad holidays and benefits are great and Austin office location was awesome.

Cons

Jacobs company culture and benefits replaced existing culture as the company was bought by Jacobs. Benefits weren't as great but the existing culture did not change.

Pros

Local management was great, salary was more than adequate, plenty of interesting work to do, office facilities were very nice and co-workers couldn't be beat.

Cons

Upper management way too beholden to stock holders - while they are important, it's the employees that get them where they need to be and they treat the employees as disposable commodities. People are our greatest asset is really a joke - it should really be 'People who are billable are our greatest asset'.
