      Pros

      Challenging place to work. Exciting projects and professional colleagues but senior managment is not uniformly professional.

      Cons

      You need to be part of the "in" group to succeed.

      Pros

      - Pay is good (for not having a degree) - Very lenient job requirements - Pool table - Casual (sometimes too casual) dress

      Cons

      - Sexist Co-workers / Sexual Harassment - Non-existent / pitiful HR department/representative - IT technician is useless (i.e. visits Facebook) - Extremely poor leadership from management - Very long working hours - Hostile work environment (e.g. men would use women's bathroom) - Management would allow firearms on-site, when JACOBS company policy prohibits any weapons on campus. They classify the issue as "Don't ask, don't tell".

      Jacobs is one of the most selfish companies that I have ever worked for.

      Pros

      Really I found nothing good in working for Jacobs, but I have to write something here anyway. They had nice computers.

      Cons

      Jacobs bought the company out that I was working for. They came in and destroyed the structure of the company and the worked do dropped. Jacobs put me on leave and laid off several others. Upper management does not understand loyalty to it's employees. They only understand the bottom line. I had a vacation scheduled and they put me on leave do they wouldn't have to pay PTO. So don't go to work for them.
