Working at Jacobs Technology in Tullahoma, TN: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Tullahoma, TN Area

"This was one of my worst employment experiences ever. I worked in a group full of miserable, evil and incompetent people. The director was a joke. She acted like she was running an elementary class. Showing favoritism, gossiping with people under her about other people under her, drawing conclusion about a situation due to her thinking she is more intelligent than what she is (very sad). The team developed some of the worst software I have ever seen and provided some of the worst support, but maintained and attitude that the software was good and is acting up due to customer actions ... their fault. 55+ hour work weeks were normal due to the amount of support and rework that had to go into the software this group produced. The director would like to say "We work really hard in JTS." You have to work harder to clean up the mess your created from not working smarter. She was a director and could not see it. I eventually got laid off and given a reason of "You work quality was low." When I had received an Exceptional job review a few Mk the prior ... funny. They did me a favor (that wad not their intention ... trust me!) though because I have not been happier since. I am at a point in my career that could have never been accomplished working in JTS."
