Pros

Salary and working hours were decent. The office was located in a great location. On site cafeteria was convenient and the food was good.

Cons

They like many other Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management Companies hire and fire as quickly as the projects come and go. If you're looking for a company that is interested in investing in their employee, then Jacobs is not the right company for you. You need to get in and make as much money as you can before you get laid off.
