Pros

A large company with many resources. The variety of projects Mott MacDonald is involved in creates many opportunities for one to accelerate career growth.

Cons

Lack of organization and motivation from upper management. Lack of cohesion between project managers and team members. Steady work is hard to come by and there is a tendency to overload schedules, leaving staff members burnt out. Expectations from upper management is very ambiguous.

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.
