Pros

There were no pros for this company.

Cons

They acquired us and proceeded to destroy the Tucson office (Mining & Minerals) as many of the engineers who had worked for them before predicted and they were not happy to be working for Jacobs again. As an admin assistant I was treated like a disposable commodity and within two years the staff went from about 150 down to 60. The mining companies in the area (FreeportMcmaran, etc.) did not want to work with Jacobs so they were not able to get any new projects. The medical benefits were terrible. Overtime became mandatory so forget work/life balance. It was dismal.

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.
