Jacobs Employer Reviews

nice company to work for as long as you're in one of there offices

Your choices of locations are broad, while you may be lost in the crowd.

Worked here 9 months. Assignment is finished next week. Very different environment from the noisy, interactive workplace I was used to at dialysis clinic for 20 years. Everyone pretty much stays to themselves as their work requires. Very quiet workplace. However, when the staff does get together for meetings, which are many, everyone is very personable – more... and friendly. Management is very easy to work with, and noticed they treat their employees very well as far as time off for illness, personal business, etc. A typical day for me included printing schedules and posting, keeping kitchens stocked/clean, answering switchboard, greeting visitors and receiving packages, typing invoices on Liquid Office (accts payable), scheduling conference rooms, processing incoming/outgoing mail. All in all I am sorry their budget does not allow them to hire me, as I've gotten to know the job and my co-workers very well and like them both. – less

Enjoyed working with all – more... phases of the project and with the various systems and test engineers along with the designers. – less

Work flow processes, exposure to new concepts, always learning.

The particular contract I work on is quite isolated from the rest of the division, which is quite isolated from the rest of the corporation. It is easy to get lost in the various systems of management.

Jacobs was an incredible opportunity for me to hone my professional skills. I learned virtually every aspect of my chosen field of Metal Finishing.

Management pursues Safety as a great focus. Challenges arise with keeping project work to support continuous staffing.

Excellent environment - supportive management - everything a workplace should be - and more.

they sold out! living icon in philly and they sold out for money. management is horrible. they are at least 7 years behind in regards to infrastructure and technology.

Plan on working till you drop, then they will be glad to drop you. Regret spending over ten years working for them. Get everything in writing & keep a copy when it comes to assignment letters. There are 26 loyal employee days a year & they are called pay days...

Jacobs Engineering provided me with ten great years of the most rewarding work of my career. I worked on the Launch Operations and Support Contract and managed a spacecraft fuelling facility. Much of the work was to support space launch customers both military and civilian. The management was supportive and career oriented. If you made a mistake they – more... would do their best to help you work through it. All they required was doing your best and to be honest and truthful. Integrity is the hallmark of Jacobs Engineering, also known as Jacobs Technologies. Much of what I learned about the workplace I learned while employed in this company. I am who I am today in part by my experience with Jacobs Engineering. – less

I've had a great experience at Jacobs. I met a lot of intelligent bright Engineers and Architects. I've learned much from many of them on the retail market and specific design requirements.

I started at Jacobs after graduating and feel I grew a lot from working there,

On a daily basis I coordinate schedules and reconcile budgets with various Project Managers. I am detailed oriented and enjoy my work. I do feel that I must move on in order to grow in my field. We are currently using Primavera V3. While the salary is very competitive, I must look for other opportunities to grow in my field. I enjoy my coworkers and – more... my work environment. My schedule is enviable for any Anchorage company. Jacobs has encouraged and accomodated my continuing education and provides reimbursement of a portion of my college tuition. I am currently a junior at Wayland Baptist, working towards a Business degree. – less

Jacobs is overall a great place to work. They offer everything you'd want when looking for a place to work and grow your career.

100% billability is required. When there's work everything is good. Flexible hours 6:00am thru 7:00pm. In the right team support is provided to learn and succeed.

For me, a typical day at work starts at 6:30Am and lasts until 7:00PM. I start my day with certain ideas of what I will accomplish during the day, however: there are so many interruptions, due to my position, I get very little of what I paneed to do, accomplished.
