Work
Cons
No chance of promotions
Everyone helps each other, there is no cliques or people out for each other, free tea and coffee, Good management structure, the most enjoyable part of the job was the people, relaxed atmosphere, subject matter experts on hand to help.

Cons
awful paperwork procedures
Not an inclusive environment. Lacks skilled middle management. Top heavy with young graduates in order to charge the client higher margins, failing on quality and delivery without the experience needed. NOT equal or transparent salary brackets. Internal politics out of kilter with professional ability. Undervalued key staff. Cheap oversees labour of over qualified staff the business program, not good ethics. Superficial environment within which to work.
Pros
Benefits scheme and flexible working hours
Cons
Not rewarding or loyal to experienced employees
This was a short term assignment to specifically undertake a process review and to make recommendations to the Managing Director. My time at Jacobs field services in Grimsby was enjoyable due to the friendly work force and their collaborative approach. The MD was very approachable and very welcoming of the suggestions made for improvement.
Jacobs are a world leading consultancy. delivering solutions for wide ranging clients. They are very strong in position all over the world and have many areas of expertise in the UK markets.
American company with some odd ideas to the British, but you get used to it. Good to work for with a good team and interesting work.
Loyalty seems to only go one way though (might be the bitter me saying that as just been put at risk of redundancy in the middle of a pandemic (this is after CEO video messaged a while ago that the company was financially healthy to ride out the situation!)
Pros
Free fruit, good working conditions
Cons
None
Jacobs has a good work culture and its programme management capability is second to none.
Colleagues are generally friendly and professional.
The leadership is excellent in promoting its high profile projects
A good company to work for. Most managers were effective and supportive, some were distant and not so supportive. The office had groups of old school types, working direct for clients was more pleasant.
Professional and supportive culture. High standards and pleasurable place to work. Modern office with good facilities and friendly staff. Close to local amenities and public transport
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!
