UK Jacobs are Local Technician Level.

Business outlook

Pros

Flexible Friday work, Very Simple Low Level work.

Cons

Several bottom league countryside companies in the UK were re-branded as Jacobs in the UK. All senior engineering staff I experienced in a few office are in fact technician level. I joined here planning communication with US and world and set up my own team using my skill. However, the company has no communication/project sharing system with the US, even outside your local office. If you are engineer with degree, just ignore this company in your mind.

Pros

9 Day fortnight work pattern Very competent employees Not much else i feel classifies as a pro in my short time here

Cons

Lack of job specific training for Mid/Entry Level Employees Push for Billable time the only important metric communicated to staff, which is sometimes unethical Too many titular roles with no responsibilities = Delivery staff carrying dead weight

Pros

-flexible work hours -decent compensation -chance to do some interesting work

Cons

-extreme pressure to be billable even though sometimes you have no control over it -lack of mentorship / leadership / development opportunities -depending on the market you can be stuck doing the same thing over and over again -more often than not you will just be a glorified process engineer -horrible benefits -minimal holidays (i.e., thanksgiving you only get Thursday off and you have to work extra hours prior week to get Friday off)
