Pros

Flex time, employees able to work 4-10s or 5-8s or 4.5x9. High pay for Arizona so was able to attract some talented employees which makes work fun. Benefits were good and comparable to Fluor, Bechtel, etc.

Cons

Jacobs bought out our small company and it took over a year to integrate. Their documentation system called JPI is archaic. It is based on Lotus Notes and can only hold 64 gb at a time. Withing 2 years of the buyout, we were down to one mining project but were told to work over time of 60 hours for several months.

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.
