Pros

Good people, understanding culture, great clients (usually).

Cons

Due to Jacobs being a large company, at times it will feel like there is little / no connection with the corporate offices.

Pros

Benefits are decent with more than adequate PTO. Hybrid or remote options available.

Cons

30 years ago, work dried up and so did your position, unless you were in the in crowd, even if you were better than a majority of them. 30 years later, they preach employees are our strength and they live inclusion, but still... work dries up, bye bye bye
