Pros

Longterm commits to customers leads to extended job stability. Many Jacobs employees can stay in their position for years and move up as they might desire since Jacobs holds onto their contracts.

Cons

Services contract structures leave little room for advancement eventhough you might have completed additional training and educations. Unless there is a vacancy up the chain you will be stuck where you are until there is room for advancement.

Pros

Consistant employer. Fellow employees are very competant and in general pleasant and thoughtfull. office conditions are more than acceptable and the office location is quite convenient for daily commuting

Cons

No bonuses are provided although consideration is made for exceptional work effort. jacobs is a very large corporation and can sometimes seem more interested in making wall street happy than any other priority
