I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mott MacDonald
Interview
Applied online. Was contacted for an interview fairly quickly in a span of two weeks. HR was nice and professional and had included material about the company for reading prior to the interview. The interviewer was friendly and worked interview questions into a conversation.

Process was straight forward technical questions followed by a skills based assessment then interview. Overall was okay. Would recommend to anyone interested in pursuing a career in engineering. Be prepared for technical quetsions hold weighting
I applied online. I interviewed at Mott MacDonald in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview included strengths-based questions, technical scenarios, and general “get to know you” questions. The technical part of the interview caught me off guard, but I did my best to address the scenario provided. Unfortunately, the feedback I received was shockingly negative. For every positive comment, there were three harsh criticisms. None of the feedback was constructive—it felt more like a personal attack, tearing me apart rather than offering guidance for improvement.
I felt incredibly uneasy and anxious throughout the process. When answering the strengths-based questions, the interviewer actually told me, “You don’t need to give an example for every question you’ve clearly rehearsed,” and repeatedly made dismissive faces while I was speaking. It felt unprofessional and undermining.
It seems they’ve forgotten this is a graduate position, not a project manager role. I have limited field experience and applied to learn, develop my skills, and grow within their team. This experience was truly awful, and I intend to escalate the feedback I received as it was entirely unnecessary and unhelpful.

Interview
The first round for the graduate program is approximately 15 minutes team meeting with the recruiter, basically more like a screening to know more about your previous experience during university periods and internship or other relevant experience.
