Jacobs Employer Reviews

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.

I have worked in HSE for over 10 years and I had the chance to improve the safety system through implementing the Culture and Values of Jacobs Company and their sincere care for every worker and their families.

Work culture is good but this office generally works on smaller projects.

Lower pay and limited advancement, but good management and benefits.

A typical day involves the testing of bituminous materials. I have learnt about the Environmental aspects and legislation to ISO 14001:2004 standards. Management is ok small laboratory easy to get on with and involved. Co-workers are in the main easy to get of with and have a laugh with. Jobs are un taxing to the mind and the most enjoyable is the environmental – more... side. – less

Checking fork lift truck ie ; doing an all over check of the fork lift truck before use

Very nice people to work with, I still stay in contact with most.

Management: was good to not so good, but typical at any E&C.

Location was good, parking was in a covered garage, and had a good cafeteria.

As any E&C your job is never secure, all depends on projects in house.

Overall this is a good company to work for.
