Pros

Jacobs proper is a great company with a lot of potential

Cons

Telecom is managed by a power hungry individual who is only concerned with his own success. There is no diversity in telecom management

Pros

Jacobs doesnt care people are leaving for other companies that are paying more. They dont want to counter offer and are losing all the talent because they're cheap.

Cons

Upper management doesn't care about their employees.
