      Pros

      None; stay far away from it

      Cons

      Mott MacDonald is by far one of the most toxic and demoralizing workplaces I’ve experienced. Bullying is rampant and completely ignored by management and HR. Complaints are brushed under the rug, and the perpetrators face zero consequences. HR is ineffective and seems more interested in protecting the company’s image than its employees' well-being. Leadership is archaic, closed-minded, and often downright hostile. Rather than mentoring or supporting staff, they belittle and intimidate. There is no room for professional growth, creativity, or honest feedback—only fear, silence, and compliance. The culture is broken from the top down. If you value your mental health, self-respect, and career progression, stay far away. This is not just a bad company—it's a damaging one.

      Pros

      Niche software dev BU followed through with employment offer after 6 month contract-to-hire period. Provided me FMLA and even additional 2 weeks paid maternity leave without any legal obligation. Hybrid remote/office-based strategy supported work-life balance. Employee-ownership of company strengthened team mentality. Improved my resource management skills, built network via enterprise training sessions, increased GIS and agile methodology domain knowledge, and learned interesting facts about sustainability and construction engineering environmental design dependencies. Also, I felt heard and valued after my project risk reporting was addressed by leadership and a major issue avoided.

      Cons

      My labor cost became commercially restrictive after leadership changes at a strategic client. I was impacted during an Oct. Reduction in Force post a re-org.
