Pros

Depending on your line manager/ PM your work place experience can go either way. The company has good potential to be great place

Cons

Some senior people need to be more receptive and innovative. What has been cannot always work. Needs strategic direction rather than traditional ways of the old days.

Good company to work for if your face fits.

Business Outlook

Pros

The offices are well positioned and very professional. The company expects employees to work well past the minimum working day or you don't get on. There also seems to be a favourites culture that gives share options to certain members of staff and not others. Holidays are some of the lowest in the industry at the bare 20 days. Work performance is not rewarded as it should be and there is a tell tale ethos in the company that is acted on without substantiation.

Cons

Pension is reasonable, but the rest oif the package is no better than any where else. Training seems to be hard to obtain, unless you are one of the 'chosen ones'.

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.
