      Pros

      Motts looks after it's staff very well. I was treated with respect and felt valued. I got the opportunity to work on some great projects. I would say the pay is quite good for a large company.

      Cons

      The company structure is nothing short of a shambles. There are multiple divisions all doing the same work, meaning the company competes within itself to win work. I didn't once see anyone from senior leadership. I began to wonder whether they actually existed as change was always promised but nothing ever happened.

      Pros

      Niche software dev BU followed through with employment offer after 6 month contract-to-hire period. Provided me FMLA and even additional 2 weeks paid maternity leave without any legal obligation. Hybrid remote/office-based strategy supported work-life balance. Employee-ownership of company strengthened team mentality. Improved my resource management skills, built network via enterprise training sessions, increased GIS and agile methodology domain knowledge, and learned interesting facts about sustainability and construction engineering environmental design dependencies. Also, I felt heard and valued after my project risk reporting was addressed by leadership and a major issue avoided.

      Cons

      My labor cost became commercially restrictive after leadership changes at a strategic client. I was impacted during an Oct. Reduction in Force post a re-org.
