Each presenter gave a different perspective into the company culture but overall it is clear that the working environment at Mace is friendly and sociable. The employees appear to love working there and it's definitely a company I can see myself working for in the future.
Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
4/5
At the end of each day of presentations there was a networking session where we would split into smaller groups to speak with the presenters. This was a great opportunity to ask questions that we may not have had a chance to ask during the presentations and were able to have a more personal interaction with employees a Mace.
