Pros

Rich Diversity of work placements Recognition of talent Exciting work opportunities overseas with high calibre clients Good ratio of women to men in managerial roles against sector average Good career path into different sectors. A great company for the young.

Cons

Disappointing gender pay gap nearly 40% compared to 18% UK average. There are lots of women managers paid pittance - irony somewhere in this ! Motherhood penalty is very real in this company, as probably the sector. Highly qualified women are looking elsewhere. Flexible in a limited sense. Need to overhaul the greying middle age directors and let some fresh thinking in.

Working at Mace

Pros

Mace is one of the leading construction firms in London with a certain amount of operations in UK regions and some international locations. You get to work on some of London's and UK's iconic projects and programs. A great addition to anyone's CV.

Cons

Both a pro and a con for this business is that it is run by the people who own it. On the up side, decisions can be made quickly, on the down side there may be little transparency in senior management decision making and unclear accountability for these decisions.
