Pros

The customer is great. Great scientific place to work. NASA.

Cons

Jacobs co-employees a large percentage of the people (35%) through small business in an attempt to meet government contract obligations they have for working with small business. They are dictatorial in their management style and difficult to deal with. Jacobs establishes the benefits for everyone, even the small business people.
