Pros

Flexible Schedule, Good pay and benefits

Cons

If you are a victim of discrimination or harassment by your manager or supervisor, Jacobs will not do their due diligence to protect their employee, but instead put a target on your back and gaslight you into believing that the discrimination did not occur. HR does not care and will turn the situation against you. If you value a fair working environment for your fellow POC coworkers, please reconsider bringing your talents to this kind of employer.

Pros

My coworkers were all great people that worked hard, that's the only pro.

Cons

Received an email for a meeting at 830 for a meeting at 930. Was fired on the spot alongside 50 other people "due to budgets for the new option year." No severance, no warning, threatened to be escorted from the building when we asked questions. But on the bright side they offered us a box for our belongings, so that was super awesome of them... Our team lead didn't even know this was happening. An executive stood in the back of the room silently looming over us all during the meeting. Incredibly shady company that will fire you for absolutely no reason. The turnover is on average one year at Jacobs. Avoid at all costs.
