      Pros

      Good benefits and lots of opportunity for technical development and career progression

      Cons

      Siloed working and fiefdom culture makes effective integration difficult in many areas. Fee earning codes are guarded and create hostile practices

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for offering a thoughtful perspective after several years with Mott MacDonald. It is encouraging to hear your positive views on benefits and the opportunities available for technical development and progression. We also recognise your concerns around siloed working and how ways of working can create barriers to collaboration. Feedback from experienced colleagues is vital in helping us strengthen integration and continue to foster a more joined up culture across the business.

      Employee owned and proud!

      Pros

      I feel lucky to have landed at Mott MacDonald. Of course, like any big firm there are frustrations with process and lack of agility at times, but this is more than outweighed by the calibre of our staff, the scale and complexity of projects and the opportunities for career progression. Share ownership is also a great supplement to the salary package and a real incentive to stay for the long term. Compared to some big consulting firms, the leadership feels decentralised and dynamic.

      Cons

      Process heavy and lack of risk appetite at times.

      Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are proud to be employee owned and it is great to hear that our people culture the scale of our work and opportunities for progression have stood out during your time with us so far. Your recognition of our decentralised leadership and share ownership model is especially valued. We also appreciate your honest feedback on our ways of working. As a growing global organisation we know some processes can feel heavy at times and building appropriate risk appetite while maintaining quality is an ongoing focus. Your suggestion around strengthening legal and commercial capacity is a helpful insight and aligns with efforts already underway to better support our technical teams. Thank you again for your recommendation and for being part of Mott MacDonald. We look forward to supporting your continued development with us.
