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.
