      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.
