Pros

Jacobs is on financial solid ground and is well diversified throughout the globe. Jacobs also takes the wellness and safety of every employee very serious and it backs up the talk with the dollars to ensure a healthy workplace.

Cons

Communication from highest levels does not filter to everyone. Company has had tremendous growth and needs to deal with growing bureaucracy. There is a sense of apathy in the employees that surrounds those things that everyone knows are not conducive to efficient business. The IT organization is in dire need of restructuring and leadership. Hopefully the new CIO will be able to turn this around.
