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.

Pros

Direct collaboration with global teams and exposure to high-level projects.

Cons

Unsupportive environment: The workplace culture suffers from micromanagement, passive-aggressive communication, and a clear lack of integrity from recently appointed management. Leadership Favoritism: Senior leadership tends to favor newly hired managers, failing to provide equal treatment, fair evaluation, or direct open channels of communication to the rest of the team.
