Pros

Some great people work or worked here.

Cons

Despite posturing and marketing, Jacobs could not care less about their employees, systematically reducing benefits, pay, and compensation year after year, despite record profits and employee performance. Dishonesty in upper management levels via broken promises. Ongoing abuse of staff by those who can "make sales" is routinely overlooked, despite reporting it through the proper company and government channels.
