Pros

They pay reasonable salaries in lieu of benefits

Cons

They do not value their staff as they say in their 'values'. Management do not treat staff with respect in the way European companies do and are sometimes quite ruthless. The stated company values are just for show to outsiders.

Pros

Love the culture and the people.

Cons

The health insurance no longer covers GLP-1 or other weight-loss related medications (specifically excludes them), which I find appalling. They did cover it, but then removed coverage for all company plans. The benefits of weight-loss and obesity-related medical coverage are so high for employers and yet Jacobs decided not to care about their employees who need them.
