Thank you for your thoughtful review and for sharing your experience at Mott MacDonald. We’re pleased to hear that you felt supported by your line manager and appreciated the culture, development opportunities and chance to travel. These are all aspects we work hard to foster across the organisation. We’re sorry to hear that communication during the restructure fell short. That’s not the experience we aim to create, and your feedback is a helpful reminder of the importance of clear and timely communication – especially during periods of change. Thank you again for your contribution and perspective. We remain committed to ensuring our culture reflects our values in practice and to learning from experiences like yours.
