Pros

Decent 401K match and lots of locations

Cons

Too many management layers. Decisions take forever. Very top down control, no real creativity. Very few chances for advancement unless one of the groups.

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.
