Pros

Great office and fellow employees. Excellent graduate programme workshops.

Cons

Limited exposure to diverse structural engineering projects and prolonged periods of slow workload have restricted opportunities for progression. Progression within the graduate scheme is structured, meaning increased effort does not always translate into advancement or recognition.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and reflect on your time as a graduate at Mott MacDonald. It is reassuring to hear that you valued the office environment, your colleagues, and the graduate programme workshops, which are designed to support early career development and learning. We also recognise your feedback around limited project exposure, periods of lower workload, and how the structured nature of the graduate scheme can at times feel restrictive. Ensuring graduates gain meaningful experience and feel recognised for their efforts is something we continue to review, particularly given how workloads and project availability can vary across teams and disciplines. Perspectives from former graduates such as yours help inform how we improve progression, opportunity, and support within early career programmes. Thank you for the contribution you made during your time with us, and we wish you every success in the next stage of your career.
