Hello and thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you feel you have limited progression opportunities. It’s hard to get it sorted on here so please make sure you’re enrolled on the Mott MacDonald Academy which is our structured development programme for our graduates and speak to your manager about opportunities. There are also several discussion groups on Yammer for you to ask questions while networking with people globally. I hope this helps!

Pros

Great opportunities on variety of projects; demand/client-led business leading to strong understanding of personal market value; swathe of responsibilities lead to broad skillset development; dedicated teams of professionals creating an inspiring work ethic; very flexible attitude towards work-life balance and working-from-home; good benefits and shares packages....once you reach the right rung on the ladder; recent evidence of willingness by Directors to self-reflect and change; good attention to wellbeing

Cons

Old-fashioned, blue collar senior leadership culture; excessive red tape and clunky bureaucracy hampering autonomy and innovation; weak meaningful collaboration internally between sectors/departments; poor progression routes and snail-like pay increases; lack of evidence of genuine willingness to support staff in mental/stress-related issues and being properly proactive in avoiding their emergence
