Vantaggi
Jacobs delivers big projects so there are great opportunities for younger staff to gain good experience in the earlier stages of their careers.
Svantaggi
Despite internal spin to the contrary, Jacobs has absolutely zero focus on people. The annual performance review is a sham that even management roll their eyes at; too many mid-level managers are motivated solely by metrics and spend zero time mentoring and developing talent; these same managers too often adopt a "if you don't like it, leave" attitude that results in the continual and senseless loss of key staff. The Buildings and Infrastructure team in Texas seems to be in self-destruct mode with great folk leaving in numbers even though there's a healthy marketplace with plenty of work.
