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 

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

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

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.

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

No layoffs, at least I am not aware of any. There is a ton of politics inside though.

Any updates here. I left on my own in 2015. All the best.

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?

I hear Jacobs are cutting a swathe through their senior team around the world.

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 

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.

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.

Do we have any updates here. With SLB and Baker going into layoffs this week is this something that we can expect here as well? If yes, what do you think, how much will Jacobs Engineering be affected?

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.

I am from Brazil, how do you get a job with Jacobs?

If you can help it NEVER WORK for JACOBS - ANY of their companies!...EVER!

Period!
