Good place to work
Logistics Technician (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – May 10, 2018
Working at Jacobs is a fast pace position. The management was pretty fair for the most part. The hardest part of the job would be communication. The most enjoyable part was working with my co workers.
laid off
Prolog/Converge Administrator (300+ users) (Former Employee) – Everett, WA – June 19, 2018
They laid me off. Bean counters without any knowledge of what I did for the company. After departure project was without proper support. The decision was made while my supervisor was on vacation.
No interaction with other Jacobs employees
Principal Chemist / Principal Engineer (Current Employee) – Institute, WV – June 19, 2018
Jacobs has not provided any interaction with their supervision or other Jacobs employees. I worked at Bayer under contract with Jacobs but had no interaction with Jacobs management or technical employees in six months of employment.
Good connections between working engineers
Process Engineer (Current Employee) – Préfecture de Casablanca – June 19, 2018
Working team performs well for execution of project - work proactively to achieve organizational goals. Culture in zonal offices are different and does not align with JACOBS organisational culture. This is because of lack of training and monitoring of higher management people to lower management people. Management people are driven by their own culture or by culture of their previous company.
Fair
Electrical CAD Designer (Former Employee) – Greenville, SC – June 18, 2018
I resent having to fill out a summary of a company that I worked for previously.
I quit the job at that company and that should answer any questions you have about that office..
My summary has nothing to do with Jacobs as a corporation, but the Greenville, SC office specifically.

Not the best but was a client driven atmosphere
Electrical/Controls Instrument Designer (Former Employee) – Beaumot,Tx – June 18, 2018
I can not do a fair evaluation for Jacobs because my location was onsite and does not necessarily pertain to Jacobs methods of operation. In order to be a complete and accurate review I would need to evaluate from Jacobs office
Productive and Beneficial
Information Security Specialist (Current Employee) – Scott AFB, IL – June 18, 2018
The last year with Jacobs has been a wonderful experience. I have learned enough to get myself past the entry level job into a more suitable mid-level job in the IT career field.
Safe and healthy enviorment
Ground Maintenance and Waste Water Operator (Former Employee) – Grants, NM – June 15, 2018
Majority of the job was staying safe everyday. A typical work day was talking about the job as a group and making sure we got the job done safely. The job was managed well, checking the job sites out in the field, making sure it was done productively and everyone was doing it safe. The workplace culture was makes sure we had a clean work area, talking about the job and how we can do it safe, and helping out all other crews besides the department you were in. The Hardest part of the job was making sure everyone was staying safe. And the most enjoyable part was everyone helped each other out.
Pros
Safety, Steady work hours, Benifits
Cons
Weather and Sometimes dealing with heavy traffic
Descent Company
Major Turnaround Lead Planner (Former Employee) – Dow St Charles – June 14, 2018
Jacobs kept me working for a very long time and I would still be there if the pay and benefits were better. All in all it wasn't bad though. The leadership was decent, lots of overtime.

Ask a questionwith the right management equals production
Quality Assurance Auditor (Former Employee) – Monrovia, CA – June 13, 2018
Had a few great Managers on this project. With these great managers their teams worked well together and completed all tasks on time. When the management respects their team, they accomplish the mission of the company!
Not a bad job just not very exciting
Inside Sales Coordinator (Former Employee) – CA – June 13, 2018
I worked putting together proposals for the infrastructure group. Not exactly an exciting day to day activity. Primarily had me tracking down resumes of potential people to be tasked on the project and tailor them to the specific jobs needs.
Great work experience.
Systems Analyst/Network EngineerSME (Former Employee) – Huntsville, AL – June 11, 2018
By being able to travel to Army bases up north and get our hands on their data collection system, was great experience. I would say that being able to work with each individual work station across the entire base visited and employees was invaluable. Great company and great teamwork.
Productive, Yes. Employee-friendly, somewhat
CADD Designer (Current Employee) – Los Alamos, NM – June 10, 2018
This company, while being on the Fortune 1000 list, lacks abysmally in employee training especially for its drafting staff. The drafting staff have only internet sites, on-the-job training and YouTube videos to enhance their skills. Other companies of this size/type, and even most of the smaller ones, offer far more structured training for their new hires. There is also a significant gap and lack of respect of employee input to the company itself. Employees are encouraged to be a team and yet their opinions are almost totally ignored by those higher than the immediate supervisor. Women's health care is the same as with most other large companies....non-existent! It seems that myself, and my co-workers, are there for the money. I would expected far better from a global-based company such as this.
Pros
Discounts everywhere, decent advancement opportunities
Cons
Training for new hires, healthcare, lack of attention to employee input
A good place to work
Senior Piping Designer/Checker (Former Employee) – Baton Rouge, LA – June 10, 2018
Very pleasant environment with the opportunity to apply experience to the Job. conducting weekly meetings to keep the group informed of the changes and new requirements to be implemented on the project, flexible when justified time of necessary or for vacation purposes.
All about saftey
Millwright (Former Employee) – Peoria, IL – June 8, 2018
Good company to work for. Wide variety of knowledge in the company. Management always made sure the jo. Was safe before you would preform the work and if they didn't have the tools for the job they would get them no questions asked.
Pros
Decent pay, good work schedule
Cons
Healthcare was expensive
