Mott MacDonald is one of the world’s biggest employee-owned companies with 18,000 experts in 150 countries.
In the one year and two months that I've been here, the career progression is very unclear and the promotion opportunities are unheard of. I am not sure what is next for me in this role in the company. It is not an issue of me underperforming, it's just that the career progression and promotion opportunities are uncharted.
My sector is quite niche so it is not as supported, my team often finds big barriers to get software since most is not approved and can be a long, cumbersome process to get everything set up at times.
Promotions are achieved with hard work. However these promotions don't appear to come with salary increases that are experienced at other firms
I believe that at the lower levels, such as interns and graduates, salary increments are time based, meaning all graduates from the same intake typically receive the same raise. Once you're out of the graduate program, line managers and other employers tend to check in with you on a quarterly basis. These check-ins offer a valuable opportunity to showcase recent work and discuss your salary expectations.
I get a lot of opportunities to work on harder projects with more responsibility at motts
