Jacobs reviews

No clear direction in the DoD sector. The managers they've promoted to lead these business development efforts don't have the experience needed to be successful. As a result, they make knee jerk decisions that causes upheaval across the organization only to change course again several months later. In the 2 years I worked here as a BD Principal there were 4 reorganizations. Every 6 months. I was routinely assigned to large scale ($700M - $1B) proposals that were due in months only to be pulled and put on another one with just as short a suspense. I wasn't the only one either so each proposal team had a revolving door of people being assigned then pulled for other proposals. Very inefficient and poor management.

Too much work for 40-hour full time job. Sometimes feel they take advantage of your "salary" position to get more work out of you instead of hiring supportive roles to offload the work. They preach work-life balance, but feel the work is very overwhelming at times. Although they are great about making sure everyone is safe, it's almost to the point where it is annoying where they monitor your speed and every move in company cars and make you fill out forms for safety before you can do anything.
