Pluspunten

Very few - used to be good until forced to shoehorn in another 50 staff without enough billable work to start with

Minpunten

Covid came along at just the right time - lots of redundancies and blame the pandemic rather than the real reason - that management had got their sums wrong. Constant bullying from untalented project managers who do very little work but take all the glory when things go well and blame anybody they can when they don't. Shocking middle management that are stuck in the 1970s Layer upon layer of middle management and constantly changing structures - I had five different bosses (none of whom I met) in less than three years. Jobs for the boys culture - brown-nosing will see you climb the corporate ladder - socialising with the boss will enhance your career.

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.
