Pluspunten
The pay scales are OK compared to the industry. Not the best or the worst. Most non-managers are good folks.
Minpunten
The single bigest flaw in Jacobs is that senior managers make commitments which are unrealistic, then simply funnel all that pressure downwards. A serious concern is the lack of credibility of comunication to the workforce. Jacobs has consistently lied or been deliberatley obscure to its staff about pay and redundancies, and has had a "divide and conquer" approach to consultation on working hours changes. Good managers can get up the ladder in exceptional circumstances, but most senior managers tend to to be the sort of people who are adept at covering their own hides when the badly managed projects inevitably run over and/or burn people out.
