Do not work for this company. You are treated like a no body!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Global company, and thats about it!

Cons

Senior Management are interested in a growth strategy only and do not focus keeping thier current employees happy. Jacobs Engineering do not seem to have heard of the term of Globalistation, as they seem to keep drumming American values onto their European and other worldwide colleagues. Especially with regards to thier paranoia of one of their employees suing them for an accident in the work place.
