No growth. - Engineer Jacobs Employee Review

UK Senior Management is old fashioned. A lot of junior staff see no room for growth among a thick layer of management populated by the over 55s. Obviously busineses need a wide range of ages and experience amongst employees, however, it is very segregated into two camps at Jacobs. Very few opportunities to bid for work or try to grow business - work is solely distributed among various teams by senior management. Sometimes there's not enough work to go around and billing time appropriately turns into a game.You are encouraged to bill time to professional development, yet supervisors won't support actual professional development courses.
