Pluspunten

There are very skilled, talented people there. Initial pay appears to be good, although very minimal (I mean on the scale of roughly 10 cents a year) raises. They are very flexible with hours and personal leave.

Minpunten

Initially it appeared to be a good career opportunity. After several years with them I have less career opportunities now than I did with my entry level position at my previous employer. Employees are put against each other in annual reviews. There are small groups of people competeing for a small pot of raises and these are the people who review your performance. Over the years I've been told that I do a good job from every client I worked with and professors, but I can't recall a single time that any supervisor in my own company said that I've done something well. Over years it tends to wear on your self esteem and eventually make you wonder if you're even competant in the very field you've passionately loved and invested in your whole life.

Pluspunten

Strong learning environment for entry-level engineers Great exposure to large-scale transportation and infrastructure projects with experienced mentors and structured onboarding. Reputable global firm Jacobs’ strong brand name adds credibility to your résumé and opens doors for future opportunities in both public and private sectors. Good career growth and mobility Clear pathways to move into roles like Project Engineer, Assistant Resident Engineer, or Construction Management with internal postings encouraged. Supportive team culture (project-dependent) Most teams are collaborative, and senior staff are willing to guide junior engineers, especially in inspection and CM roles. Competitive benefits and job stability Solid health benefits, 401(k), PTO, and steadier work compared to smaller consulting firms—especially on long-term public agency contracts.

Minpunten

Growth pace depends on manager and project Advancement and role expansion can vary widely based on leadership and available opportunities.
