Teams are excellent, good people and good spread of age/experience groups.

Cons

Management.... Not necessarily problems specific to Mott MacDonald, but that's the point - we're meant 'stand out'.

Pros

Nothing positive is there in this company.

Cons

No culture, no values. There is a lot of politics. No matter from which background you are or for which profile you have joined as, this company will surely degrade your skills and motivation. There is no proper way of working for anything. No one sticks here for long and after joining only i realized why no one sticks here. This company will play with your mental health. Dont join if you want a downfall. There are no projects, people are sitting idle for almost years and then they get fired. Many of the women in the organisation doesnt know how to run a company and work in a professional manner
