Jacobs reviews

Challenging work to be done

Jacobs is a very large company. Architecture has always been sensitive to the ups and downs of the world economy. Jacobs is not a hire/fire firm. Jacobs will put a lot of effort to your advancement. Safety is a very big part of the culture. We are always re-training for safety, from being trained to use a fire extinguiser on a live fire, to not talking on a cell phone when driving on company business, to advanced CPR classes, to inclement weather in your area emails. It really bonds the people in the offices together. New hires are amazed how safety conscience Jacobs is. For me no job is worth losing your life over and being trained for safety in all areas carries over to your personal life as well. Jacobs also listens to the suggestions of their employees and will act upon them swiftly if deemed important. Jacobs approaches projects on a national basis. Work can be shared with any office. Jacobs holds you accountable for keeping a project on track, on time and on budget. This also helps you in your personal life. If you are named by a client in a client survey, and this statement is attached to a 97% or above satisfaction response, then you will be noticed and thanked, profusely. This tiny little thing makes you feel great with a "There is a God" feeling.
