Pros

Pay was comparable or better than other in industry. Great groups of people in many of the offices. Access to "non-normal" projects.

Cons

Total lack of understanding from just about all levels of management. The way they grow is by buying out smaller firms and then forcing their old, outdated and unorthodox ways of management upon everyone. No understanding of technology. Many of those making the call on the technology that users have access to or that is considered/forced to be the standard, have no grasp of what is or isn't productive. No "proper" sharing of technology. No open to new ideas, or better ideas.

Pros

Pay is decent, above average for enrty-level positions. The Jacobs name is know world wide. This is a great place to learn when just starting out.

Cons

No regard for employment morale. Organization is a huge challenge. Matrix style of management does not work well with small production staff.
