Pros

1. Great people. 2. Offered some interesting project opportunities. 3. Jacobs seems to be growing.

Cons

1. Like many large companies, Jacobs proclaims employees as their most important resource, but falls short of demonstrating that statement. This is a problem not just with Jacobs, but with most conglomerate companies today.
