Pros
The work at the Jacobs Technology office in Tullahoma was some of the most interesting I have done ranging from wind tunnel components to NASA rocket test stands. You will learn a lot just trying to keep customers happy. Mainly office work in a comfortable cubicle with some site visits or field work depending on your role and project. Lots of opportunity to get involved in all aspects of design and analysis as long as there were contracts and man hours available. Lots of really brilliant engineers to work with and learn from. Some interesting places to travel to for work and people to visit. Straight pay over time for billable work.
Cons
Company only focuses on billable hours. It is what generates money and everything else is just preventing that to them. The location is an aging, rural community with little opportunity or activity outside of Jacobs. Large percentage of people commute from as far as Nashville or Chattanooga. The business has a very stuck in the 90s feel with a disdain for new technology, techniques, or even dress. Nepotism is pretty common, but it is also because it may be the only people they can get in Tullahoma. No remote work options. Even bringing it up or asking about a transfer was highly frowned upon. The pay and benefits were on the low side of competitive due to the very rural location. Very little training. Training costs money and takes away from billable hours. You will learn on the job or not. Did not pay for off hours travel, and somehow travel was always booked on off hours and weekends. 14 hour trip to Germany or China on a Saturday unpaid was common.
