Pros

As mentioned, the company does offer a good life/work balance and acceptable pay.

Cons

We all know that engineering firm work is based upon client workload and as such there is an amount of ramp up and then lay off based upon work load. However, I have never worked for a company that practiced the "revolving door" to the extent that Jacobs does. You ZERO job security - even in the "good" times. God help you in the bad times because Jacobs surely won't No severance - no anything. Oh, and the benefits are among the weakest in the industry.

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.
