My review of Jacobs

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

They pay very well compared to everyone else in the industry. And with the exception of this past year, my end of year increases were generous.

Cons

They are very quick to put you on Company Convenience Leave. As soon as you become unbillable, you will be cut.
