Mace reviews

"Hang the goat head but sell the dog meat" is the best Chinese phase to describe Mace in HK. The HR said whatever to attract you to join, e.g. Competitive salary, career progression, etc. Once I joined, I realized that I'm in the same job as the other but we have a very different salary - 20% different! Also, due to lack of projects (as Mace in HK is pretty useless in running projects and is a money spending consultancy, no point to use Mace unless the Client really want to throw money into the sea asap), the new comer like me have to "queue up" to go up the corporation ladder in a very political office environment. I left Mace after 2 years and straight away I found another job and I got my salary which is double to what I earned in Mace.

Because of the size of the organisation, there is an occassional risk of being put into a silo, thus lusing the broader feel of the company. Decision-making with regard promotions and workload for staff at the same level seems to be disparate and opportunities for increased workload are often down to the luck of who you are line managed by rather than anything else.
