It is great to hear such positive feedback about the team culture and expertise within the business. Having supportive teams and the opportunity to work alongside highly skilled colleagues is something many people value at Mott MacDonald, so it is encouraging to see this reflected in your experience. We are also pleased that work life balance has been a strong part of your time with us in Brighton. Your point about administrative processes is appreciated as well. As a large organisation, we recognise that some processes can feel more complex than they need to be, and we continue looking at ways to improve efficiency and make day to day working smoother for our teams.
