      We appreciate you leaving a balanced review and sharing your perspective. It is great to hear that you value the people around you and the balance your role provides. We also recognise your comments around limited project availability and learning opportunities, which can vary over time. As a current employee, we would encourage you to raise these concerns with your line manager so appropriate career support, development discussions, and opportunities can be explored.

      Restricted Progression

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great office and fellow employees. Excellent graduate programme workshops.

      Cons

      Limited exposure to diverse structural engineering projects and prolonged periods of slow workload have restricted opportunities for progression. Progression within the graduate scheme is structured, meaning increased effort does not always translate into advancement or recognition.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and reflect on your time as a graduate at Mott MacDonald. It is reassuring to hear that you valued the office environment, your colleagues, and the graduate programme workshops, which are designed to support early career development and learning. We also recognise your feedback around limited project exposure, periods of lower workload, and how the structured nature of the graduate scheme can at times feel restrictive. Ensuring graduates gain meaningful experience and feel recognised for their efforts is something we continue to review, particularly given how workloads and project availability can vary across teams and disciplines. Perspectives from former graduates such as yours help inform how we improve progression, opportunity, and support within early career programmes. Thank you for the contribution you made during your time with us, and we wish you every success in the next stage of your career.
