Pros

Focus on ethics and integrity, diversity, employee networks. Jacobs treats clients well and does good work in the world. CEO Steve Demetriou is a strong leader and a genuinely good person. Company invests in client-facing technology.

Cons

IT layoffs every 6 months and unrealistic budgets create a culture of fear and struggle. Frequent IT reorgs and leadership changes don't allow for plans to be developed and seen through to completion. Pace of M&A doesn't allow time/budget needed to update and improve internal systems and processes. Core team members not protected through M&A, so turnover of key talent, and loss of institutional knowledge.
