Pros

I was allowed to keep my position through the contract change.

Cons

They turned my career into a dead end job. They blatantly lied to there employees about compensation and raises. Overall a horrible company to work for.

Pros

Great if you believe in 100% billability and being sent to other offices 100's of miles away and only allowed to come home once per month.

Cons

working there...no respect...you are a money machine to them and that is all.

Pros

The opportunities there are endless, large company so you can eventually go any where and do anything that you are passionate about.

Cons

Fort Worth office was previously Carter and Burgess; after Jacobs acquired it there was a lot of talent lost. Looking for replacement managers took years, and constant management changes. No clear priories or direction.
