Pros

Great people and benefits. Work hours and load allowed for a good work/life balance. Pay was above average for the area and the field of engineering I worked in. Company is very committed to safety.

Cons

Company really doesn't value their employees. When people are laid off, it is effective immediately. Poor severance package. Little to no training in the office I worked in. Few promotions and little advancement.

Pros

Love the culture and the people.

Cons

The health insurance no longer covers GLP-1 or other weight-loss related medications (specifically excludes them), which I find appalling. They did cover it, but then removed coverage for all company plans. The benefits of weight-loss and obesity-related medical coverage are so high for employers and yet Jacobs decided not to care about their employees who need them.
