Just when you think it can't get worse... it does! WORST company I've ever worked for! - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Jacobs

Management ENCOURAGES an almost caste like system. The higher level managers watch out for their "men", and the lower levels are treated like lowly servants. Lower levels are obviously not worthy of anything more in their eyes There is no emphasis on career path, mentoring, or self improvement/education. In fact, management often communicates during review time that the lower levels are not eligible to receive higher performance ratings because those scores are reserved for management and above (most, if not all, of which are men). Furthermore, they approach your review with the viewpoint that it has to be low to encourage you to work harder and have room to grow. (Oh, and then that's their justification for why you get a miniscule raise... you don't deserve it because you didn't earn it!) In past jobs, my assessment reviewed the quality of my work for the past year, not my potential for the coming. It's a good ol' boy system in the worst way, and the floundering, near bankrupt companies that Jacobs acquires brings aboard poor quality management that if not eliminated or at least reigned in could lead to your demise. After all, there is a reason that their previous companies were tanking under their leadership. Morale is HORRIBLE and gets worse with each passing day. Everyone is just waiting for the economy to rebound so they can leave.
