      Lack of work-life balance and appreciation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has a well-established infrastructure, offering an easily accessible office location and a hybrid work model. The settlement duration is reasonable.

      Cons

      Lack of Trust in Leadership. We struggle to trust senior staffs and line managers, as many prioritize personal growth over team development. A lack of transparent leadership and mentorship. Employee efforts are not equally valued, and recognition is inconsistent across teams. Overtime & Work-Life Balance. Employees are frequently expected to work beyond regular hours, including weekends, without additional compensation or acknowledgment. This practice leads to burnout, reduced productivity, and an unhealthy work-life balance. Project Planning & Execution Challenges. The project planning and scheduling team lacks efficiency, resulting in unrealistic deadlines and compromised deliverable quality. Poor task allocation creates unnecessary stress and last-minute rushes, negatively impacting both performance and morale. Mistakes by senior employees during planning often go unaddressed, while junior staff are held accountable for any delays. The KRA evaluation process does not consider documented evidence, leading to biased assessments and unfair performance reviews. This practice affects increments, promotions, and overall job satisfaction.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns, and we take them seriously. Employee wellbeing, fairness and transparency are key focus areas Mott MacDonald prioritises, and we emphasise wellbeing amongst individuals and teams to promote a healthy work-life balance. We’re also committed to an environment where open and honest communication are the expectation, not the exception. Whilst we want each individual to feel comfortable in approaching their supervisor or management in instances where one believes we have fallen short of the policies or standards we expect, if they do not feel they are able to do that, colleagues can report concerns anonymously and confidentially through our SpeakUp platform. While we regret that your time with us did not meet your expectations, we value your perspective and will take your feedback into account as we strive to do better. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
