      Run, don't walk to get away from this company

      Pros

      Initially the pay was good but having been with the company for over three years and never receiving a raise, the pay is no longer good.

      Cons

      Management is the biggest joke around. It's acceptable behavior for management to degrade employees in front of others. There is absolutely NO help from HR; promises of "I'll get back to you" never happen. No community within the office and the office does nothing for the employees. So cheap, won't even buy flowers when an employee has a baby or an employee has a relative that passes, but "People are our best asset". IT is so far behind we can't even open things from our clients because we don't have updated software.

      The people at Jacobs take pride in their work, too bad management doesn't.

      Pros

      The people. They take pride in their work and reallly care about doing it right... the first time. Adminstrative support staff is also great to work with.

      Cons

      Management says they care about their employees, but prove they don't by their actions. Very little consideration is given to the impact of travel on employees lives. Management does not comunication well. Their is lack of sharing information that directly concerns a projects outcome..

      I am happy that they have provided me with the experience I needed to move on to other opportunities.

      Pros

      The benefits are good, earned days off (every second friday for my schedule), free coffee, very active social club, social atmosphere,

      Cons

      No human resources in the office I worked in which made raising any issues within the department tricky. The computers are so slow that I am at a loss as to why they have not been replaced to increase productivity. There I.T. assistance is slim to nil.
