They only hire based on certifications. Never for Mgmt Skills - Cyber Security Jacobs Employee Review

Pros

Espouses a culture of caring. But, it really depends on your supervisor if you’re cared for. A lot of DoD former military branches and egos. Some haven’t a clue how to be a civilian.

Cons

Subject to whether you have a good manager. Most in cyber suck at knowing 1 thing about managing or have any communication or people skills. My personal experience? You’re disposable. The work horse gets rewarded with more work. Lazy dudes just there to pull in a paycheck. Zero accountability for management to actually do their job. So they pawn it off on others.

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.
