Pros

- Research facility so deadlines are quite lax - Exciting Research - Benefits are not bad

Cons

- Will need to live in the middle of nowhere - Pay will be less than industry - As a contractor researcher, you will not have any growth. Only civilians grow here and even then it's a slow growth

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.
