Jacobs Senior All-Source Intelligence Analyst reviews

The pay is not great for the area. There is no real culture / doesn’t feel like a family like I have experienced with other companies. They recently announced a cut of around 100 people and made everyone sweat it out for over a week before they informed anyone of who it was that was let go. That could have been handled better.

Low pay for the defense and intelligence space in the Washington, DC area (very high cost of living). Terrible on-site program management; management personnel who were retained after Jacobs acquired The Buffalo Group. Those managers were woefully under-qualified for their new positions with Jacobs and did not exhibit any leadership qualities. Three different Jacobs on-site managers failed to back me up when the customer wronged me. Two of those same on-site managers blatantly lied to me, stabbed me in the back, and I ultimately lost my job after being brushed-in with a group of employees getting laid off due to a contract reduction. There were plenty of billets available for good analysts and I could have had one of them if Jacobs on-site managers would have simply better better humans. I should have reported this all to HR but was afraid of reprisal at the time.
