That is a technique that was used in the past with Jenkins freestyle jobs. The technique makes it very hard to diagnose the locations of test failures, or the place where a compilation failure happened, or the differences from one job to the next. If you're not using Pipeline jobs, then having a single job which builds any of several branches is relatively easy (add the branch names to build), though it will tend to confuse most users. If you're using Pipeline jobs, you'll likely be much happier with a multibranch pipeline so that each branch gets its own job and job history and so that new jobs are created automatically for new branches and are automatically destroyed for deleted branches.
