Dreadful company. A sluggish behemoth, reluctant to change, (public sector-esque). Inefficient and overrated. - Project Engineer Mott MacDonald Employee Review

Pros

Offices world wide. Some of the most interesting projects are awarded to Motts. Little expectations from the company. Almost impossible to get fired.

Cons

Little or no innovation. Company values are just a tag line. Career prospects limited unless you are hired at grade E or above. Basic no frills remuneration. Non transparent promotion and career progression policy. Rewarded for years served rather than ability or talent.

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
