Business Outlook

Pros

international opportunities; wealth of long term experienced staff as mentors; interesting range of projects and scope to move between disciplines.

Cons

progression tends to be more on a time-served basis rather than recognising talent/potential and promoting accordingly. Being such a large company, could do more to influence a Chartered Engineers role being more on par with other professions eg. solicitors, doctors etc.

Mott MacDonald Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and we’re glad you enjoyed the projects you worked on. We wish you the best of luck for the future.

Great people, flexible working and interesting projects

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of interesting projects. Opportunities to travel. Employee owned company. Senior management can make decisions for the betterment of the company in the long term, rather than short term solutions to appease shareholders.

Cons

Once you are offered shares (senior staff only), the benefits make sense, especially for the lifetime employees. For new employees at a similar level, the salaries are a little below market rates.

Mott MacDonald Response

Thank you for your feedback. We have learning and development opportunities for all staff to help our people with their career progression, and your annual performance and development review (PDR) is a great place to discuss this.
