Pros

Global company with plenty of opportunities for working with other groups. Decent benefits choices. Constant reorganization at senior level but typical for large companies. Good PTO policy. Yearly raises. Promotion of employee involvement in networking groups within Jacobs and in professional organizations. Great sales team and support to procure new work.

Cons

Minimal bonuses, structured pay policy. Only 1 week of 100% paid maternity/paternity leave. Billability is talked about constantly but plenty of work available to meet goals.

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.
