Pros

Stable place to work, good vision. Executive leadership says the right things about valuing employees and balances a tough/demanding shareholder environment. They’ve been on an improvement trajectory with regard to human capital appreciation .

Cons

It seems very few people are eligible for the bonus plan. Below the senior leadership team, there is very little emphasis/investment on teaching people to “be a good leader” and develop talent. The infamous “clay layer” that makes people unhappy with their line leader

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.
