Pros

Salary was slightly above other Defence contractors but a lot less than they are paying to outsource their own work to third party consultancy companies to do the same work.

Cons

The management team are mostly made up of ex military hacks that have been disconnected from reality and only exist because they are connected in Canberra. They are no better than PWC, KPMG and every other consulting company out there sucking the life force out of Australian Defence Forces capabilities. Expect to be dumped into a role and left to die (literally).

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.
