Pros

There is nothing good to say about Jacobs

Cons

Terrible place to work. No leadership. Company didn't even have a business unit to support the office. Once work was gone; laid EVERYONE off. No quality control. Never had I seen so many errors in deliverable's - EVER!

Pros

People seem genuinely committed to a common success. Mostly supportive, friendly at least outwardly. A general willingness to share teach others what they know. I don't see a lot of "I'm in it for me".

Cons

Seems that the best choices have not been made for movement of key leaders into management positions, leading to low morale and apathy in the office. Not a direct correlation between demonstrated performance and opportunities presented (or denied).
