Pros

Competitive pay for the job market

Cons

I worked for Jacobs for almost six months and by six months I mean they laid me off one day shy of getting my paid time off. I feel this was a deliberate action so they would not have to pay me for it. They bought out my company inside Eastman chemical company and then they sold out within this six months. They have let go almost everyone that worked for my old company even thought they state that they are a non biased and fair company to work for. I worked hard, nearly never missed work and still got the boot just a few days away from Christmas no the less. They care very little about employees and like most big time companies are only concerned with the almighty dollar. What ever happened to the American dream and working for a living? Never consider working with them.

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.
