Totally disingenuous to say "People are our greatest asset." Bad benefits, long hours, no safety net. Yuck! - Anonymous employee Jacobs Employee Review

Pros

There is some schedule flexibility. I like most of the people.

Cons

Unclear path for advancement. Pay is average. Benefits are the worst I've had at any employer -- including a contract job shop. Constantly feel like no matter what I contribute, my job could be eliminated. Sr. Leadership seems very disconnected from front line employees. Everyone -- myself included -- appears overworked, overstressed and paranoid about their job. The Jacobs benefits package isn't much better than something you could buy on your own independently.
