Thank you for your generous and insightful review. It’s wonderful to hear that our values and culture continue to resonate so strongly with you after more than eight years at Mott MacDonald. We’re proud of our inclusive and empowered environment, and it’s encouraging to see that reflected in your experience. Being employee-owned and offering a broad range of services are key aspects of our identity – they help create the varied opportunities and agile working practices you’ve highlighted. Your observation about the importance of proactive internal networking is well taken. In a large organisation, we recognise that visibility and connection can sometimes be challenging, and we’re actively exploring ways to make internal mobility and collaboration more intuitive and accessible. Thanks again for your continued dedication and for helping shape the culture you’ve described so positively.

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.
