Pros

Benefits provided, as well as holidays and PTO / Sick time.

Cons

Lack of management involvement causes a lack of communication and oftentimes a lack of understanding for the job position. No room to move up in the company, only linearly.

Coworkers and challenging work make the job interesting.

Pros

Global company with plenty of opportunities for working with other groups. Decent benefits choices. Constant reorganization at senior level but typical for large companies. Good PTO policy. Yearly raises. Promotion of employee involvement in networking groups within Jacobs and in professional organizations. Great sales team and support to procure new work.

Cons

Minimal bonuses, structured pay policy. Only 1 week of 100% paid maternity/paternity leave. Billability is talked about constantly but plenty of work available to meet goals.
