Pros

- Excellent opportunities within the company. Many, many departments & positions to choose from. Jacobs has almost everything engineering related, particularly Civil. - Work/life balance is good; Jacobs advocates remote work if applicable to your position. - Generous PTO, increases with more tenure. - Great benefits (ESPP, health, dental, vision, STD, LTD, Traditional 401k & Roth 401k). - Matching for both Traditional 401k & Roth 401k.

Cons

- Did not see growth from within; positions opened up within my team and no one was getting promoted despite very competent track records. Did not feel that there was room to grow. - Non-management employees were not bonus eligible; seems that it is only for regional management. - Corporate's effort to increase employee engagement was sub-par. - Pay is on the lower side compared to other companies in the same 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.
