Poor leadership in the Australian business

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some great global resources to draw on and learn from.

Cons

Awful culture driven by an incompetent and elitist leadership group across the Australian business. Disgraceful and appalling treatment of some very talented and wonderful people by management and as a result there has been heavy staff turnover in the last couple of years. Very little opportunity to grow within the business and lots of micromanagement. The Sydney and Melbourne office space is quite pathetic for a tier 1 consultant, very dated & depressing which makes the atmosphere even worse. Very negative approach to upskilling and training staff. Inflexible working hours. Honestly some of the most miserable times in my entire life were a result of the conditions and culture at Mott MacDonald Australia.

Not as glamorous as one might think

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Multinational consultancy with a good reputation around the world. Full of people who are experts in their chosen fields of work. Very rare to find people there who do not have, at least, a Masters degree.

Cons

Noticeable turnover of the grades B to D staff. When there are not enough projects to keep everyone busy, junior members could be relegated to doing menial tasks (or bluntly, begging for work) just to make up the expected 40 hours in their timesheets.
