Jacobs principles 1. People Are Our Greatest Asset 2. We Are Relationship Based 3. Growth is An Imperative

Cons

Jacobs principles of 1. People Are Our Greatest Asset 2. We Are Relationship Based 3. Growth is An Imperative The first principle only applies when they get the other two right. If the particular office you work in has no backlog then you are going to be out of work really soon.

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.
