      Pros

      There are some very intelligent and hard working employees working for Jacobs.

      Cons

      The Human Resource Department is terribly mis-managed, and unorganized. The HRBP's seem over worked and burnt out. There seems to be a pattern

      Pros

      Flexi Time, good salary, early Friday finish. There are no other good reasons to work at Jacobs Engineering, they suck big time.

      Cons

      No communication, buying companies then taking jobs away, won't honour Jubilee Day this year. 40 hour working week. Everything needs to be billable, not good for admin staff/

      Pros

      For those that don't shy away from hard work, you will enjoy working here. Hard work is recognized and rewarded with great compensation and exciting projects. Long-term employment is prevalent with this company. There are many people with 30 and 40 year careers still working for the company. Turnover is very low.

      Cons

      There are not very many opportunities for step-function growth. For those that start with JT in their early career, the climb is long and perhaps a bit impossible. The best place to enter JT is in mid-management, when you are confident in your trade and ready to take on more.
