Large, privately owned...family business ideology has been outgrown by the company
Pros
In terms of values Mott MacDonald has, in general, an excellent work-life balance. Diverse fields ensure that there is possibility of working on a number of interesting projects. Good benefits
Cons
Male, pale, stale senior management that don't always conform to the company principles they are meant to champion. Some glass ceilings are in place if you do not have an engineering background and you sit in the core of the business Company needs improvement in terms of how projects are managed and to be steered away from carrying out some possibly unethical working practices that limit its maturity. This might not be evident at those at graduate level, but be prepared to work in a heavy political and hierarchical environment. This means that some under-performers can be frequently successful in a whom you know, not what you know organisation.
