Pros

Flexible Friday work, Very Simple Low Level work.

Cons

Several bottom league countryside companies in the UK were re-branded as Jacobs in the UK. All senior engineering staff I experienced in a few office are in fact technician level. I joined here planning communication with US and world and set up my own team using my skill. However, the company has no communication/project sharing system with the US, even outside your local office. If you are engineer with degree, just ignore this company in your mind.
