      The people at Jacobs take pride in their work, too bad management doesn't.

      Pros

      The people. They take pride in their work and reallly care about doing it right... the first time. Adminstrative support staff is also great to work with.

      Cons

      Management says they care about their employees, but prove they don't by their actions. Very little consideration is given to the impact of travel on employees lives. Management does not comunication well. Their is lack of sharing information that directly concerns a projects outcome..

      How can you be realistically 100% chargeable at all times.

      Pros

      Had some very large and interesting jobs. Alot of very hard mid-level staff.

      Cons

      Cheap - when I worked for them in the mid 90's - we had a computer room! You had to sign up to use a computer! How ridiculous is that? For scientific work. Very old furniture from the 1970's. Too cheap to upgrade. Staff had to share very small offices - 2 or 3 people each. IF you were not 100% chargeable you went home without pay! Management kept too much to themselves and allowed very poor project management to go rampant. Too many layers of management. Program Managers basically did nothing. One of them watched TV in his office all day!

      Pros

      At Jacobs you will get to work on some of the largest projects in your field.

      Cons

      The extreme focus on billability leads to endless meetings where every financial aspect of every project gets scrutinized.
