Pluspunten

Very large company where one can hide their incompetency, through continual meetings without doing anything. One person does the actual work while 10 others stand on that person's shoulder creating paper work & creating work for themselves out of that one person's work. Its a great rehabilitation center for 'Has been' in the industry. Average employee age is 55 ( fact) and they are used to doing things the old way. Newer technique and technology is shunned. If you are an older guy and have fallen behind skill set, this is the place for you.

Minpunten

if you are an architect, do not join this company. There are very few actual architectural project in the firm. This is an engineering firm, not an architectural practice . Period. PMs have the final say and design principals have to listen to very low aspiration PMs. If you are an architect join this firm at your own risk.

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.
