Kontras

I only worked for the company for two months. My manager was an extreme micromanager. They seemed to have a deep mistrust for me, and had me report my every move, and how long it took to do them twice a day. My manager did not take the time to sit and train with me, and I was only mentored by my colleagues. I was thrown into leading 2 different pursuits only 1 month into my time at the company. I wasn’t even given time to shadow a full proposal cycle. Multiple team members expressed concern and empathy for my manager “throwing me to the wolves” by being assigned such large pursuits so quickly. At 1.5 months my manager said they needed to see “immediate improvement” and laid out 6 key changes but did not give a timeline. 2 weeks later, halfway through leading 2 more new pursuits, I was fired for not progressing quickly enough, although when I started, everyone said it would take at least 3-9 months to get your footing and feel somewhat acclimated. While I can admit, my work was not always perfect, I believe I was set up to fail from the start, not given the chance to learn without fear of condescending remarks, and received no training from management. My manager jumped the gun to berate me at least twice, without asking for clarity and realizing they’d made a mistake or misread something. In addition, looking at the recent work of my white counterparts that had been in the industry for over 10 years, I spotted many of the same errors that I, a young, black, entry level coordinator with 3 years of experience, made. The difference is that I was chastised for those same mistakes while still at a draft level, while their mistakes went unseen, uncriticized, and were actually submitted to clients. All I wanted was guidance from the person that hired me and fair and equal treatment, and I got neither. I was talked down to and stressed to the point of tears almost daily. It was a very hostile work environment and no matter what I did, nothing was good enough and that was made blatantly clear every day of my short, 2 month tenure.

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.
