Pros

Stable contracts A variety of job options

Cons

This more aimed at the former Buffalo Group than Jacobs. I was on a stable contract with terrible leadership. I would constantly be contacted outside of working hours, I was called in last minute with no warning causing me to cut my family trip short, and once I requested PTO and when I didn’t show up I was blamed by my manager for him not doing his job! I was also treated poorly for standing up for myself on these kinds of things. I work for a better company now and it is a stark difference. I get treated respectfully like an actual person with rights. I’m aware that some of the things I’ve said here are standard in some work environments but if you are like me you want better…and I encourage you to be very careful about taking a job here. The pay is also extremely low for the industry and location in NOVA.
