Pros

Good place to make money if you treat it like they do, no loyalty, and a stepping stone to a better career. Do not make the mistake of using them as a career you will be disappointed

Cons

No loyalty to employees, they are at the whim of the government no matter what. Very disappointed with some of the underhanded dealings. You will be just an employee, if you want to work as a team or a corporate family this is not the place for you.

Pros

Jacobs principles 1. People Are Our Greatest Asset 2. We Are Relationship Based 3. Growth is An Imperative

Cons

Jacobs principles of 1. People Are Our Greatest Asset 2. We Are Relationship Based 3. Growth is An Imperative The first principle only applies when they get the other two right. If the particular office you work in has no backlog then you are going to be out of work really soon.

Pros

Good people to work with. At lease my immediate team was. Mostly all the senior management have an open door policy. Opportunity to grow and transfer between departments.

Cons

Very cut-throat when it comes to bottom line. They dont really care for employees...its just a lip service when they say "People are our greatest asset"
