Pros

Jacobs has OK/good benefits, and an excellent 401K with Vanguard.

Cons

They can be a bit stingy with salaries. If you need a job and have the skills and a government clearance, it's a good place to start. PTO and sick pay take forever to build up.

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.
