Pros

Some very talented engineers work for Jacobs.

Cons

Senior management are atrocious. They lie and prevaricate about what they obviously consider minor details such as job security, pay increases etc for staff. All that actually matters to them is the share index and their own inflated salaries and bonuses. "People are our greatest asset" they claim. Don't make me laugh. The only assets that matters to Jacobs are dollars in the bank. And this attitude means they are doomed and will fail. Go work at your corner store; the pay may be lower but you'll be better appreciated and valued.
