Lack of IT leadership
The current CIO seems to lack basic IT knowledge and focuses mostly on frequent team changes and staff cuts without clear reasons. Though she talks about company values, her actions feel disconnected and insincere. Favoritism in roles and projects... — read more

Wrong people are being laid off
I watched two employees with 25+ years walked out with one cardboard box today. A total of 6 layoffs but watching them lay people off that have given their adult life, including time and good work was worse than working for CH2M HILL after they... — read more
No balance here
I really wished there was some balance at Jacobs instead of two extremes. When there is a lot of work, we are forced to work minimum fifty hour weeks (although they are more often sixty hour weeks) for no extra pay. However, when work is light... — read more

Good IT people in an impossible abusive relationship.
Jacobs is in a lot of trouble
Their largest contract is only extended through its first option until Feb 2020. There's rumors that NASA won't be picking up Jacobs again for the 2nd (and last option), if they do decide to extend it. I suspect that Lockheed, Boeing, or Leidos will... — read more

Procurement Layoffs By End of Year
If you work in procurement, please note that the leadership is going to offshore another 40 Jobs from Houston alone. Ignore this at your peril. Of course it’ll be denied, so check back in December. If you’re not looking to move, you’re being a fool. — read more
When is it enough?
How many hours does Jacobs expect us to work? I'm wondering if it will ever be enough... I'm currently pulling 55+ hours weeks, and I keep getting pressured into putting even more hours in. How? Do they think we are robots? We don't have families?... — read more
Practice what you preach
I worked for Jacob’s and their mantra that people are their greatest asset is so far removed from reality it’s not funny. We were constantly pressured to increase our billable work yet the tools needed to function day to day and increase productivity... — read more
JEG is a good place to work at, with some caveats
No layoffs, at least I am not aware of any. There is a ton of politics inside though.
Tullahoma TN layoffs
Any updates here. I left on my own in 2015. All the best.
90% Cut
Jacobs laid off 90% of the employees. They were 1800 to 1900 way back in 2012/2013. Since 2014, they laid off several employees and now the entire office space is available for lease. They have only 100 to 150 employees now.

Why are we so quiet?
Senior Layoffs
I hear Jacobs are cutting a swathe through their senior team around the world.
Favoritism and Nepotism, lack of communication
Worked there 4 years. When layoffs came around, they chose to keep anyone related to project managers or the favorites of the engineers. Was told that I was being laid off because of my performance even though my performance was never questioned in... — read more
Bad Company
Do not expect warning of a layoff at Jacobs, the axe swings blindly and quickly. This is a very badly managed company who only care about profit. Investment in training and people is minimal.
Very Bad Company, Racist Upstream Process Manager
Never trust what they say in Interview. They are very selfish. The lay off is based on racial profiles. Foreigners and colored people go first no matter how good they are. Mr. Noel Watson needs to change culture and terminate racist managers.

2015 Layoffs
We'll see big cuts in 2015 as we'll be getting less work due to depressed prices of energy, oil and gas, materials, etc. Everyone in this business will be affected by low prices of oil.
