      Some of the projects are exciting; however, employee morale is relatively low.

      Pros

      There were good opportunities to transfer within the company with the ability to find new work when one project was complete. Some of the projects were very interesting, exposing me to projects that were a little bit out of the norm.

      Cons

      Most time is spent worrying about being billable. I felt like management thought of me as hours, rather than talent- very little time was spent developing my skill set.

      Jacobs is poorly managed and they do not pay or treat people well.

      Pros

      Some hard working, intelligent people.

      Cons

      Their are no standards for behavior or work ethic. They hire the cheapest people, won't train them and don't have any quality controls to make sure work is being done correctly or at all. Very stingy with resources. Do not value people.
