      OK place to work

      Pros

      Starting pay and benefits were very competitive (although benefits were horrible after being bought by Jacobs Engineering.) The program manager was a great guy and was easy to talk to. Most of the upper management seemed to make themselves very available to their employees. Good about time off.

      Cons

      Front line management was poor. Very little room for growth. After being acquired by Jacobs Technology, corporate culture changed for the worse. Jacobs seemed very disinterested in employees (Tybrin management was still in place, and they were still good).

      Jacobs Engineering review

      Pros

      High salaries, flexable work schedule and safe work environment. The people have a good relationship with their peers. Formal education is not as much of an issue as would be expected.

      Cons

      Some managers don't have the educational backround for the positions they hold. There is too much tolerance for mediocracy in the quality of some work provided by professionals. Training is very low on the priority list and input or direction from managers is inadequate..
