Pros

Good and friendly work environment. Job is stable and the projects are typically large. You will learn how to work with a group of other disciplines in order to finish a project. Big company, so there are always others to assist if you get overloaded. Offers Jacobs Go, the ability to work abroad for 6 months in another Jacobs office.

Cons

You get stuck in one discipline. This company almost always hires from outside instead of promoting from within. Typically, people do not have time to train you and you are often left to learn yourself. Projects are team based, and it is hard to get people to work together for the most practical solution as people do not want to change what they have done.

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.
