Pros

Charismatic CEO Steve Demetriou has managed to align 55,000 employees to a common vision. Even as part of a large, publicly-traded company, I feel my contributions as an individual are valued and I can make a positive impact on a global scale. The firm's commitment to staff well-being is making it possible to emerge from this pandemic with a strong, intact workforce. "Challenging today. Reinventing tomorrow." is the company's tagline, and a philosophy actually practiced and supported by management. This is one of those rare firms with the clout afforded by its large size, but with the focus on staff at an individual level.

Cons

Recent M&A activities have resulted in reworking some common internal systems that still need streamlined.

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.
