Pros

Jacobs brought in a new CEO a few years ago. Mr. Demetrious re-structured the company along lines of business versus regions. The stock price responded very well to his vision and realignment

Cons

The company still tends to operate, at the grass roots level, very regionally. taking advantage of global resources, knowledge, best practises etc, still hasn't t really happened to a significant extent.

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.
