Overview of the Role
Overall, how would you describe your experience at Mott MacDonald?
Mott MacDonald is a fine place to start your career and there are many opportunities in different areas of the company. However, my experience is that these opportunities are not always afforded to people based on how their team is ran. The graduate scheme offers no flexibility to rotate round the company and feels a tick-box exercise.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Mott MacDonald to a friend?
No
Why?
I find that the compensation package, and rigidity as an ECP would stop me from recommending Motts to friends. Upward mobility is possible, but you have to force these opportunities.
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
3/5
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Mott MacDonald?
The recruitment process is good, and an asset to Motts setting it apart from other Graduate employers.
