Pros

Flexibility and variety in work and projects, able to create your own schedule

Cons

Must be able to handle and organize your own workflow and advocate for yourself. Not really a Con but the job is what you make it

Pros

My team lead is an amazing person and really makes sure to do the most he can for his employees. However, I think your satisfaction really depends on who your group lead is. A poor lead will make for poor morale and work quality. Overall Jacobs has a good work life balance in my opinion.

Cons

Compensation is on the lower end compared to the same position at other companies.
