Vantaggi

Good pay for those that are just starting out. The hours are flexible and we have short days on Fridays ( done at 11am). Everyone is friendly.

Svantaggi

You do not get sick days or vacation time. You ONLY get PTO ( 3 weeks) but they dont let you use it when you want. You only get 2 hours of PTO a week so you have to let it build up before you can even take time off. They wont pay you for time off for a death in the family but they will pay you for jury duty. There is no room for advancement. They will tell you that you can learn multiple jobs but no one really wants to teach you anything. It gets very slow when we are getting done with a job. They cut hours and/or do layoffs. No job security.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

Growth pace depends on manager and project Advancement and role expansion can vary widely based on leadership and available opportunities.
