Pros

I met a few fantastic people, but they were contractors.

Cons

Owners (directors) of the Company are untouchable. They do whatever they want (even if it's breaking the Client's requirements or risking confidential Information being exposed). The company's directors are overpromissing to the Clients and then ignoring Client's Protocols and Procedures. Women in supporting roles (PA, Administrator, Document Controller, Junior PM) are underpaid and disrespected. Most of the time you have to work overtime and you wouldn't get paid for it or at least appreciated. Be careful with the lies during interviews. You'll be promised a lot, but when you join Mace - No support or direction, but lots of blame if the senior management makes mistakes. I was not allowed to speak up and if I raised an issue with a Senior Management I'd be ignored. Also, No transparency. One set of rules apply to Directors and people they favour and completely different rules are for employees. Mace shouldn't even have HR as it's useless. The work environment is based on a fear and feeling suppressed.

Good, not great

Pros

Excellent benefits, clear directive from management. Work life balance. Good facilities. Central location. Cycle to work, health care. Staff engagement

Cons

Tend to work for the exceptions, and not the rule. At times they are unwilling to make crucial decisions. Group Services haven't got a leg to stand on in regards to Service level agreements - no SLA or customer charter set.
