Jacobs offers great benefits, and hires people that are willing to work together without judgement. Jacobs is involved with multiple contracts that connect their workforce with a diverse group of people nationwide. Through my employment, I have been offered special projects which have helped pave a path of success and understanding of what I truly want in my future career.
Positives: higher pay than many local companies, very flexible schedule, location close to home. Negatives: Benefits: No maternity leave until this year. Mothers had to purchase STD prior to becoming pregnant or receive no benefits. Bereavement leave was added only this year. Growth opportunities: minimal. Those who are not the chosen few are passed over. Job openings are filled without a posting or announcement. No one is given the opportunity to interview, replacements are chosen in advance and placed in the roles. Management: reactive and short-sighted. We ran an outdated 3D software for decades because they didn’t want to pay for licenses & training on something new, despite integration issues and benefits of newer programs, which costs us work. Culture: Cycles of hiring/laying off mean people hoard knowledge to safeguard their value to the company, leading to major information/skill gaps when these people move on. Overall:Jacobs is behind industry standards and very poorly run.
I've been with Jacobs for nearly 15 yrs (via acquisition of CH2M in 2017) & love working here. Company culture is caring, inclusive & diverse (they work hard on this and they mean it). Any company this large will have it's annoyances but all the people I've worked with over the years (in multiple roles and in 5 different countries) have been amazing. I hope to spend the rest of my career here.
