Pros

I have found everyone at Jacobs to be friendly and genuine people

Cons

Company pretends to have a "culture of caring" but the only thing it cares about is the bottom line and not getting sued. Private healthcare provision in the UK is worthless compared to my previous employer. Maximum one day of training allowed per year for personal development. Have to pay for decent coffee in the office! Endless online mandatory training on ethics, culture, safety. Overnight stay? Thanks for giving up your evening... in exchange we will put you in the cheapest hotel possible.

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.
