Pros

Opportunities in various regions throughout the US. If you are gay, you will love this place because they are all about this type of inclusion.

Cons

The company is too large and operates similarly to a public agency, where getting any support is nearly impossible, including HR support. Most of the company's administrative operations are in third-world countries, and contact with them is not possible. - After I resigned, they wouldn't match my 401k and argued that I was no longer an employee and therefore they weren't required to make any contribution. Finally, I requested a reference letter and was told that HR advises against it.

Pros

Strong learning environment for entry-level engineers Great exposure to large-scale transportation and infrastructure projects with experienced mentors and structured onboarding. Reputable global firm Jacobs’ strong brand name adds credibility to your résumé and opens doors for future opportunities in both public and private sectors. Good career growth and mobility Clear pathways to move into roles like Project Engineer, Assistant Resident Engineer, or Construction Management with internal postings encouraged. Supportive team culture (project-dependent) Most teams are collaborative, and senior staff are willing to guide junior engineers, especially in inspection and CM roles. Competitive benefits and job stability Solid health benefits, 401(k), PTO, and steadier work compared to smaller consulting firms—especially on long-term public agency contracts.

Cons

Growth pace depends on manager and project Advancement and role expansion can vary widely based on leadership and available opportunities.
