Pros

Would recommend working for Jacobs Engineering if you are looking for a career as a consultant. Jacobs offers many locations and transferring between locations is not very difficult....must have managers support. Good advancement opportunities.

Cons

Management is more focused on their individual career needs and will sacrifice depart needs over their own.

Pros

Good compensation, and opportunity if you are willing to travel extensively. Excellent experience / opportunities for growth. A great resume builder.

Cons

It's sink or swim. Poor performance will relegate you to "C" player status causing stagnant opportunities. Very poor benefits. Worst I have seen.
