- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good culture, good people, good opportunities
Cons
Pay could be better and so could hours
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Very flexible working arrangements that are genuinely employee driven. There have been recent efforts made to foster greater diversity and inclusion. National teams can offer opportunities to work on diverse range of projects across geographies and sectors.
Cons
Salaries are significantly behind market demand. Graduate program is nonexistent and there are very few professional development opportunities for early career professionals. The business does not invest in its graduates. Culture issues in some teams are poorly addressed, with upper management and HR slow to address issues appropriately. Extremely inefficient business systems and processes. Expectation to put in long hours with a frustrating and disheartening lack of acknowledgement or reward initiatives.

Jacobs has an overall great management system, people are amasing and the salary is competitive.

Down side is the Human Resource Management, its a bit disappointing that some employees does not do their job properly. Did overtime until midnight and went to work the next day and the HR does not even concern on some employees.
