Mott MacDonald Reviews

Pros

friendly team and upper management excellent learning experience flexible working

Cons

pay is abit lower than competitors

Advice to Management

can be too bureaucratic

Pros

Very flexible, relaxed place, great colleagues - not stuffy/snobby at all compared to some places I've worked in the past. Something for everyone whether you're very technical or prefer managerial tasks. Chartership scheme good, well organised and get you on track quickly. Well organised company i.e. IT support, training, everything on sharepoint etc. Lots of opportunity to grow. Good socials.

Cons

Slow IT upgrades (more of a past concern really). Not enough design reviews. Impossible to search for past projects and track down existing drawings etc to see whats been done before.

Advice to Management

Have more design reviews with younger engineers rather than adhoc sit downs in front of a computer or FE model, there is not enough emphasis on understanding basic engineering principles. Get more feedback from engineers regarding high-level BIM processes etc, less flow-charts/"big ideas" on a powerpoint more tangible ways to do particular tasks.

Pros

Salary average Pension Ability to plan working week

Cons

Poor training programmes Job roles change continuously Time spent away from home Lack of longevity or continuity

Pros

Large organisation, lots of opportunities for training, specialising in your area of interest and working on different projects. Benefits also very good.

Cons

A lot of restructuring, management constantly changing which can be challenging.

Pros

Nice people and culture, job security

Cons

Standards are quite low and mediocre performance is accepted. No growth. No pay reviews.

Pros

Great collaborative working atmosphere and respect between colleagues

Cons

Wages are on the low side and benefits seem to be years behind the market. Business focused more on driving through the brand than its people.

Advice to Management

Brand only works if your staff believe in it - they don’t if you don’t walk the walk eg. EDI, well-being and flexible working

Pros

I worked with some great teams at MM, and the more junior/lower levels all look out for each other.

Cons

Lack of progression for administrative and supporting roles.

Advice to Management

Look after those in supporting roles, not just those at the top. Surely an engineering company should know that if you don't have good support everything else crumbles!

Pros

Good opportunities. Flexible employers with good benefits. Great atmosphere at work. Looks after their people

Cons

Politics at senior management level but nothing you would not see on other companies at that level

Advice to Management

None
