Lack of work-life balance and appreciation - werkgeversreview Engineer bij Mott MacDonald

Lack of Trust in Leadership. We struggle to trust senior staffs and line managers, as many prioritize personal growth over team development. A lack of transparent leadership and mentorship. Employee efforts are not equally valued, and recognition is inconsistent across teams. Overtime & Work-Life Balance. Employees are frequently expected to work beyond regular hours, including weekends, without additional compensation or acknowledgment. This practice leads to burnout, reduced productivity, and an unhealthy work-life balance. Project Planning & Execution Challenges. The project planning and scheduling team lacks efficiency, resulting in unrealistic deadlines and compromised deliverable quality. Poor task allocation creates unnecessary stress and last-minute rushes, negatively impacting both performance and morale. Mistakes by senior employees during planning often go unaddressed, while junior staff are held accountable for any delays. The KRA evaluation process does not consider documented evidence, leading to biased assessments and unfair performance reviews. This practice affects increments, promotions, and overall job satisfaction.
