Pluspunten
One of the top companies in the field, and it continues to do well and have a large back log in spite of the difficult economic times.
Minpunten
As a consulting firm Jacobs is focused on billable hours. Employees without enough billable hours are at risk of losing their job. Also, because Jacobs is public held, and it is primarily concerned with shareholder value, it focuses way too closely at the quarter by quarter results. One more thing, if you are a woman you will have difficulty advancing. Although Jacobs is trying to make itself a good environment for women, as is typical of engineering firms, the high level core business positions are held predominately by white men. There are some women high up now, in HR, IT, Inside Sales, and PR positions.
