Pros

Everyone I met was enthusiastic and friendly and I discovered that Mott MacDonald has a major presence in the energy industry, which had always been my big interest. Most of the projects I’ve worked on have been for power stations being built overseas which has meant many trips.

Cons

Just one month after joining I flew out to Dubai for a week as part of a team from the UK to help the design of a power and desalination plant. I’m currently working on the design and development of a biomass power station in the UK. Climate change and renewable energy is really big in the news at the moment so it’s exciting to know that people are taking notice of what I’m working on every day.

Pros

If you are lazy, not the highly intelligent ones in work but good in playing politic, and want an easy life... then this is the place you can stay forever because they pay you to be at that level. It is a good place to stay for young engineers and be there for 2 to 3 years top.

Cons

If you can't get into the inner circle of the company, that it, you're out forever and don't ever think that you will get appreciated enough and grow within. It is a very quiet working environment, quieter than a school library that staffs are too afraid to talk and one team hardly talks to another team sitting at the same floor.
