      Pros

      Jacobs works for me because although I received training and guidance I was not micromanaged. I have some flexibility on my work hours and no one tell me how to do my job as long I am efficient. In my first month with the company I had a chance to have lunch with the global VP and meet a few other big shots. There is no routine and since we work with several projects at a time, everyday is different. I enjoy the challenge of running different jobs at once and co-workers are very friendly and helpful.

      Cons

      The paying is not great at my level. Another downside is that the company uses less technology than other similar business. I still like the experience I am getting here.

      Pros

      There are some very intelligent and hard working employees working for Jacobs.

      Cons

      The Human Resource Department is terribly mis-managed, and unorganized. The HRBP's seem over worked and burnt out. There seems to be a pattern
