Avantages

interesting projects within the government and an old established company

Inconvénients

although Jacobs is an established and very large company (as a subset of Jacobs Engineering), they're remarkably haphazard in their processes and bureaucracy. HR and HQ IT resources can't seem to keep track of paperwork and forms (often submitted multiple times to multiple people), and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get the things you need. they also are very reluctant to spend anything on training or tasks that aren't billable to the customer, even when large training activities are required by the customer - Jacobs expects the training to be done "on your own time" and do not provide a charging category for internal/administrative tasks.

Avantages

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Inconvénients

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.
