Pros

Great colleagues. International scope, lots of opportunities for those willing to travel and work on project assignments. Strong safety culture.

Cons

Poor benefits - just not competitive. Operates like a job shop - no security whatsoever. If you don't have a billable assignment, out the door. Old boys club.

Pros

Confused...but it is not looking good for a lot of us.

Cons

HR many have many good people in Pasadena - but what is going to happen to all of these good people when Jacobs moves to Texas - or elsewhere? The new executive management has been breaking down Jacobs to turn it into something no one will recognize. Before phrasing how good we are in Pasadena, truthfully address the white elephant.

Pros

Decent offices and overall a good group of people to work with. The money is on or above market rate depending on your experience and the clients and projects Jacobs have and work on are ok.

Cons

The culture is shocking. The work environment is stale and nigh on toxic in some areas. Constant restructures where a lot of people are being made redundant doesnt help. No learning and development opportunities for graduates and most employees. No investment in systems and technology. People do not come first, and most people know it.
