Pros

Jacobs Technology serves the Johnson Space Center area therefore you get the indirect benefit of having stable work hours. While not the best pay in the world for an engineer, the work life balance makes up for the low pay.

Cons

Again, Jacobs Technology serves the Johnson Space Center area therefore you get the annual worry about the government budget and how it will impact the projects originating from Johnson Space Center. You definitely will not be getting rich or have long term employment at the same company as the contacts are re-competed every 4 to 5 years.

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.
