Business outlook
Pros
Big challenging long term projects.. Jacobs is usually in the prime contractor role. Worldwide opportunities. Relocation costs supported well. Small but steady annual increases.
Cons
Local office politics sometimes difficult. Be ready to relocate every few years. No profit sharing (public company). Company is using cash to expand through acquisitions. Should be putting more investment into better IT tools and systems and existing staff development and promotion. Also they should pay dividends to stockholders.
