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 culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
