Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for any misunderstanding regarding salary. Our recruiters always discuss salary and the arrangement for salary reviews at the point of making an offer. This information is also included in the contract, which details the salary review process for graduates. Those hired under our graduate scheme will have salary reviews only after the successful completion of their probationary period, twice each year, during the 30-36 months of employment. If you could provide more information about your experience with the offer not aligning with your expectations, we would be happy to address your concerns more specifically. Please reach out to us at earlycareers.recruitment@mottmac.com. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
