      Pros

      Global Opportunities are available if you incessantly network with the right people. The organization has the potential to be the "military for engineers" which is appealing to many graduate hires. Many segments from which to choose--shale to Mars.

      Cons

      Management style is obsolete and exclusionary. Managers are too far removed from the work and do not make an effort to remedy. If your segment is not a high profit area, good luck. Do not expect to be handed work when your project ends, it's all up to the employee to find the next project unless you are in the right crowd. Expect a layoff if you're not in the popular crowd.

      Pros

      Some nice colleagues and thats about it.

      Cons

      Incompetent management who doesn't give a crap. No communication. This company is a joke, they treat their employees like dirt. No advancement, no raises, no training.

      The people at Jacobs take pride in their work, too bad management doesn't.

      Pros

      The people. They take pride in their work and reallly care about doing it right... the first time. Adminstrative support staff is also great to work with.

      Cons

      Management says they care about their employees, but prove they don't by their actions. Very little consideration is given to the impact of travel on employees lives. Management does not comunication well. Their is lack of sharing information that directly concerns a projects outcome..
