Pros

Jacobs has some really cool project & clients come through their doors

Cons

Jacobs is very old-school, and often times puts the dollar above their employee. If you aren't in with the office management it will probably be a "just okay" company to work for.

None that I can think of at the moment

Lots of travel and inconsistent work type. Very large company so can eat lost in the shuffle.
