Pros

Jacobs tries to live up to the credo "People are our greatest asset", they don't always hit the mark. Benefits are good, starting salaries are in line with local markets. OT is paid to engineers (straight time as mandated by the federal gov't.).

Cons

Tied to Government contracts, so raises are poor and job security is very tentative.
