Pros

Get your foot in the door for a federal position. A lot of post docs convert to working on the contract for Jacobs. If you don't want to work hard it will take a long time for someone to notice.

Cons

Management doesn't trust employees, there is a lot of micromanagement. Salaries vary wildly for people with the same level of experiences/job description.

Pros

Many different markets to work for, diverse work pipeline. Good opportunities for vertical promotion and lateral moves. Competitive salary Good benefits & PTO

Cons

Large company sometimes makes it difficult to find colleagues and resources. Work bleeds into personal time, but this may be my own problem.
