      Pros

      Good pay compared toequivelent in the industry. Flexible working hours as long as the job gets done attitude. attitude to H&S particulary traving too much in a day is good. Made best effort to redeploy when role identified as redindant.

      Cons

      Can handle the big projects but in hard times struggle to win smaller projects as they are too expensive. Taken mobile phones off people in cost cutting exercise at cost of client communication. private car mileage rate never goes up when used for business travel. May suffer very badly from government and local council budget cut backs.

      If you know the ground rules of the corporate game and can live with them you could be happy.

      Pros

      Opportunities to work on a wide range of different projects and expand your knowledge. The likelihood of working with decent people in the rank and file is high.

      Cons

      No corporate committment (or desire) to make accomodations to minimize the impact of the well-established cyclical nature of the business on employees. It is unreasonable to have expectations of coverage for long down cycles, but shorter duration ones are treated the same. Hit the road to another office (through your own networking) and avoid OH at all costs when things looks slow. Near zero support for professional development (seminars, classes, etc) - unless you want to pay for it.

      Pros

      Its a good place to work and I enjoy my work with Jacobs. It gives me oppurtunity to deal with many projects. Its a boundaryless organisation. It gave me oppurtunity to wotk in UK, UAE and indian offices.

      Cons

      They are too Quality Conscience, its good in oneway though.
