      Pros

      I really enjoyed my time working for Jacobs Engineering. They took care of me and the department I was in for several years. They always encouraged us to continue growing and accepting new responsibilities. They always encouraged a safety-conscious culture which is important in the oil and gas industry.

      Cons

      The only downside I experienced was that Jacobs experienced extreme competitiveness from other engineering firms, and when Jacobs couldn't compete, they would eventually start letting go of some personnel.

      Pros

      4 9 hour days and half day fridays

      Cons

      my supervisor used to ask me (probably jokingly) "should I yell at you?" to get me to do something. Again probably a joke, but very reflective of the company culture and just really unprofessional on their part. My boss also had a talking to me about job performance which was pretty aggressive, he started it with "I wanted to confront you about" ... but didn't tell his supervisor they had the talk with me. a lot of things went on that many people knew about.

      They are very antiquated in technology. Management is very poor.
