Pros

Good compensation/salary package for employees

Cons

You are a #; they count on you for billable hours to the client. Until a project is over or if there is not an issue they will not help you in career advancement or upward mobility.

Pros

Great co-workers, great opportunity to be able to learn a lot about your position without someone constantly looking over your shoulder.

Cons

Take home pay and benefits need to be higher. Comparing to other companies Jacobs seems to be very average in paying their employees below management level. Also the opportunity to discuss increases in salary even after changes in job description seem to be frowned upon.

Pros

Exposure to different aspects of the industries. Interesting people. The company tries hard to retain each and every one of their employees

Cons

Not clear how employees get evaluated... a bit of a random way to promote and remunerate people. Not easy to move offices.
