Company was GREAT as Carter & Burgess, but Jacobs didn't appear to be interested in being in the National Retail Sector - Principal, Program Manager Jacobs Employee Review

Strong learning environment for entry-level engineers Great exposure to large-scale transportation and infrastructure projects with experienced mentors and structured onboarding. Reputable global firm Jacobs’ strong brand name adds credibility to your résumé and opens doors for future opportunities in both public and private sectors. Good career growth and mobility Clear pathways to move into roles like Project Engineer, Assistant Resident Engineer, or Construction Management with internal postings encouraged. Supportive team culture (project-dependent) Most teams are collaborative, and senior staff are willing to guide junior engineers, especially in inspection and CM roles. Competitive benefits and job stability Solid health benefits, 401(k), PTO, and steadier work compared to smaller consulting firms—especially on long-term public agency contracts.

Growth pace depends on manager and project Advancement and role expansion can vary widely based on leadership and available opportunities.

The benefits and unlimited pto are great

It’s a big company, so there are a lot of corporate games you have to play to get noticed and advance in your career
