Beware - Jacobs

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Similar to other firms its size in industry.

Cons

Worked for Jacobs for 24 years, delivered over $1B in revenue equating to $9,65B in construction. Never lost money on jobs and or disappointed clients. Accomplishments routinely celebrated and rewarded by the company and clients. At 58 forced to retire to be replaced by younger person. The company talk about safety and culture of caring for its employees - total fabrication.
