Pros

working in a very technical and specialised field meant that Very Senior Managers left you alone because they hadnt a clue what it was all about, so lots of lone working but this meant that 'engineers' who know nothing if it doesnt have rivets and girders stood gentlemanly to one side and let those who know get on with it

Cons

at the mass induction day at some forlorn hotel conference facilty we were all asked what we had heard about Mace before joining - ie, whats the word on the street: I was shouted down by the roving HR people manning the ramparts when I said the 'the word on the street' is Mace will work you til you drop, suck you dry and then throw you out. Three years later after an average of 63 hours a week, every week that is, redundancy looms because of a return to 'core business'

Pros

I enjoyed good exposure to big projects and have had plenty of experience dealing with clients face to face and was fortunate enough to have some good discounts on a trip to the Bahamas once.

Cons

There are some VERY poor company ethics (internal relationships), some of the worst company politics i have ever seen and to the point where i simply had to leave. Rumours floating around that the board members do not get along and there seems to be a VERY top heavy business structure (outrageous salaries and to many EGO's). Mace has just become too big too quickly and i cannot see this run of what is self described as "success" lasting too much longer. They are also quickly becoming notorious within the industry as a company who do not treat their clients with the greatest of respect which is a shame seeing as the company is called MACE and at our company induction we where informed it stood for MANAGING AND CONSTRUCTION EXCELLENCE. What a joke. The HR team proved irresponsible and useless until it comes to promoting its self. Couldn't be happier to have left and can't wish them enough bad luck.
