Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Quality work staff.

Cons

Long hours, lack of leadership, lack of understanding of how hard people work for the company or what their employees do. Employees are tradable commodities, but are hated by Jacobs if an employee becomes a free agent. Company has a chip on their shoulder. Too worried about the bottom line and the not the quaility or results of the work at hand. Continuous and constant minute by minute concerns about budget. Culture of used or be used.
