Pros

I'm trying to think of one hundred words of good stuff about Jacobs Engineering (Sverdrup). Normally, these things can be filled with lots of fluff about the quality of the people you worked with compared to the management, but that's really not the case here. This company (at least on the IT side) is riddled with people who are incompetent, care nothing for the mess they make for other people, gossip incessantly and seem to go out of their way to avoid work at all costs knowing that the few people with a clue will pick up the slack. Ugh.

Kontras

Lies, lies and more lies. I've never seen a company lie to its employees so frequently. Good managers are pushed aside due to nepotism, and employees who actually work are used abusively with travel that was never agreed to as well as working shifts up to 72 hours long to fix a manager's mistake. To make it worse, Sverdrup (the division of JE I worked for) is located in a cesspool of a town with absolutely no other opportunities for a decent job in IT, so they know they have you over a barrel if they convince you to move there. Overall, I would never recommend to anyone to even think about working there.

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.

Kontras

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