Pros

The work is Challenging and rewarding. Everyone seems to work well together and everyone is treated fairly. The management is very good from the top the the lowest level. Safety is a top priority. And the pay is very good with good raises each year. The benefits are average.

Cons

Jacobs Technology is heavy into government contracts, when the federal budgets go down, so goes business. Aside from the government, there is little other business.

Pros

The supervisory support was suberb! It was a good working environment at the local level.

Cons

Company lied about security of job when government program was cancelled! They kept telling us that our job was secure in the face of an impending government program cancellation, but when it occurred, we were laid off!
