Mace reviews

White British boys club in North America. If you’re not that you’re going nowhere fast. Even those who are it’s a toss up. Slow to promote the ones bringing repeat clients/fee. Only way to get market pay / title is to be hired in when they are desperate then drink lots of beer with ‘leadership’ at the nearby dingy Irish pub. Below market pay. High turnover. Zero training for line management and it shows. Does not invest in American staff at all. Limited to no resources to do the job. It’s a running joke how few if any have a functioning laptop. No IT. No bid team. No standards except inapplicable UK centric. Every line of support quits faster than they can be replaced. Miracle they have any clients left. Multiple exodus of leadership over the years has left what remains a hollow shell of a company. A handful of die hards remain who couldn’t hold the same job elsewhere due to a mix of unprofessionalism and or incompetence. Revolving door for qualified decent staff, white men looking for easy visas in Nyc and fresh grads who don’t know any better. UK treats NA arm as a cash cow. Constantly seeking out new lines of business via expensive new director level hires who fail to bring said work while ignoring the projects and people they already have. Unsustainable short term business planning.

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.
