Pros

I liked working at Jacobs; it was quite the opposite of some other much more micro-managed situations I've been in over the last ten years. Interesting work, pleasant enough facilities, and a very competent IT Desktop Support group.

Cons

Heavily invested in working in infrastructure of the petrochemical industry. When the price of oil dropped, it was inevitable that business was lost and layoffs occurred (as happened to me).

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
