Pros

Jacobs is overall a great company to work for. Even though it is a huge company, I never feel like a number in the company. My coworkers are like family to me and the mentors I have within this company are ones I look up to for direction, guidance, and inspiration.

Cons

Some of the downsides include compensation that is about average and the lack of training when it comes to executing by standards.

Disrespected and strung along.

Pros

The employees I worked with were great people. I largely enjoyed my work and was given access to a lot of opportunities.

Cons

Management doesn't respect the people lower on the chain. I was hourly and was strung along without work for almost 3 months before I found another job and left. Management actively threatened to get in my way when I mentioned transferring internally to another division.
