Pros

There were no pros for this company.

Cons

They acquired us and proceeded to destroy the Tucson office (Mining & Minerals) as many of the engineers who had worked for them before predicted and they were not happy to be working for Jacobs again. As an admin assistant I was treated like a disposable commodity and within two years the staff went from about 150 down to 60. The mining companies in the area (FreeportMcmaran, etc.) did not want to work with Jacobs so they were not able to get any new projects. The medical benefits were terrible. Overtime became mandatory so forget work/life balance. It was dismal.

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.
