      Pros

      Good work-life relationship within the work environment is present due to the local area (NASA). Jacobs Technology is based inside the Ames Research Facility making the work culture relaxed and stress-free compared to many comparable jobs within the same area.

      Cons

      There isn't much movement within the company for growth, although gaining knowledge is essential and acknowledged within the local area of work.

      Pros

      Highly technical and competent coworkers. Great learning experience to advance your technical skills. Pay is excellent.

      Cons

      A little disorganized when it comes to work direction. Probably won't work on anything the first 6 months or so.

      Pros

      Location and projects. Very good staff - always willing to help. Senior staff is wonderful!

      Cons

      Lots of people; there is the tendency to feel like you are only a number. Middle management are a times a bit pushy , but are saddled with the task of getting the job done. Middle managers can be a bit pushy and at time are down right insulting. I know that I have bee insulted by them on more than one ocassion, but have not heard as much as a single "I'm sorry" for their poor behavior. Upper management however is not very tolerant of mis-steps by over zealeous middle managers. I have found that making an appointment with the HR manager can solve most problems with middle managers and they will then leave you alone to do your work.
