Pros

They now have a beautiful training program on Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.

Cons

This is the third time I have worked for Jacobs and once again they never have your back. If you are not a military vet don't even bother to work for Jacobs because you won't be valued nor will you be protected from the almighty and self important military vets that comprise the middle manae\gement of this company. Regardless of your skills, experience and/or ability if you represent a threat to them, you are gone.
