Pros

Jacobs gets the largest jobs which are typically long term in duration

Cons

Their job pipeline in the Water Group is very poor. When your project is finished be prepared to be laid off or asked to relocate.

Pros

Some very talented people working diligently to execute projects on time / budget. Strong safety culture across the spectrum of projects and people

Cons

Old boy network permeates at all levels. Back stabbing and internal bickering between offices contribute to a disproportionate amount of "politics" Renegade PM's intent on running their own mini company within the framework of the organization Completely bottom line driven makes a joke of their "core values" especially "employees are our greatest asset " .. Really??
