Review of Mott Macdonald

Pros

Good Work Life Balance Good Work, from requirement gathering to final delivery

Cons

Some individuals in higher-level positions may not have the same level of expertise as expected for their roles. The increment process appears to be standardized and not strongly linked to individual performance. At senior levels, there seems to be a higher representation of female employees, which may create a perception of gender preference in certain situations.
