Solid consulting firm with interesting projects, decent culture, and decent pay - but usual consulting downsides - Project Manager Jacobs Employee Review

Billable targets always an axe hanging over your head, and constantly staying billable leads to various undesirable sacrifices and trade-offs. "Unlimited" PTO mostly means time off is a mystery. Management at certain performance units can be short-sighted. Distributed nature of teams and management makes it hard to discipline egregiously underperforming employees (we had a team member blow our project but could not discipline them as they worked for another office). Some project teams are grossly disrespectful of work/life balance.
