Pros

-Generally the WLB is very good. We work on a hybrid schedule with 3 days in office and 2 remote. -The people who work here are great. -Space Force client is pretty easy going and receptive to feedback. -The company values "go-getters" - you can try new things and management will generally back you up if you get into a corner. -Because turnover is so high - you can rise quickly in the company if you stand out and are known on the contract as a high performer. -Government job so it's about as safe as you are going to get in this economy. With all the re-orgs - management keeps everyone, even if their position is being eliminated, and puts them into a new role.

Cons

-Compensation is the lowest in Colorado Springs for Agile leaders. -Turnover is fairly high - it's hard to get things done because people are being shuffled around constantly to make ends meet. -Management is constantly restructuring teams which adds to the issues with turnover. -Working in a basement with no windows.

Pros

Strong learning environment for entry-level engineers Great exposure to large-scale transportation and infrastructure projects with experienced mentors and structured onboarding. Reputable global firm Jacobs’ strong brand name adds credibility to your résumé and opens doors for future opportunities in both public and private sectors. Good career growth and mobility Clear pathways to move into roles like Project Engineer, Assistant Resident Engineer, or Construction Management with internal postings encouraged. Supportive team culture (project-dependent) Most teams are collaborative, and senior staff are willing to guide junior engineers, especially in inspection and CM roles. Competitive benefits and job stability Solid health benefits, 401(k), PTO, and steadier work compared to smaller consulting firms—especially on long-term public agency contracts.

Cons

Growth pace depends on manager and project Advancement and role expansion can vary widely based on leadership and available opportunities.
