Pros

The salary and benefits were good. The company promotes teamwork and allows you to make mistakes. Colleagues very supportive of your efforts.

Cons

Most of the business for the Jacobs Technology unit is ties to contracts with the United States Department of Defense. This can lead to much uncertainty at contract renewal times

Pros

The hiring process was very quick and easy. The team lead in my organization is good at keeping us all up-to-date with company happenings, contract awards, etc. I like that you don't have to get a company credit card to travel, because who really wants another credit card to manage?

Cons

The way travel is handled is antiquated and time consuming. The system for timekeeping is constantly down and you get e-mails stating you're delinquent in recording your time when the system is down.

Pros

Exciting business working for aerospace company at NASA. Many opportunities were available for someone who puts his mind into it.

Cons

There is an abundance of technical requirements that sometimes go beyond the norm wasting resources.
