Pros

Jacobs works for me because although I received training and guidance I was not micromanaged. I have some flexibility on my work hours and no one tell me how to do my job as long I am efficient. In my first month with the company I had a chance to have lunch with the global VP and meet a few other big shots. There is no routine and since we work with several projects at a time, everyday is different. I enjoy the challenge of running different jobs at once and co-workers are very friendly and helpful.

Cons

The paying is not great at my level. Another downside is that the company uses less technology than other similar business. I still like the experience I am getting here.

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.
