Pros

Good compensation/salary package for employees

Cons

You are a #; they count on you for billable hours to the client. Until a project is over or if there is not an issue they will not help you in career advancement or upward mobility.

Pros

Great co-workers, great opportunity to be able to learn a lot about your position without someone constantly looking over your shoulder.

Cons

Take home pay and benefits need to be higher. Comparing to other companies Jacobs seems to be very average in paying their employees below management level. Also the opportunity to discuss increases in salary even after changes in job description seem to be frowned upon.

Flexible work schedules and opportunities for advancement. Large Intl company that is growing organically and through acquisitions. Salary and Benefits are good compared to industry.
