      Pros

      Company is generous with nice events/ travels, all in good conditions and places Salary above industry average to compensate for inconvenient locations

      Cons

      Extremely political environment where having friends is a must. No meritocracy, performance and merit do not count really. This is demotivating for good people, who leave at one point. 0 speak out culture, any decision taken will be in line with the HIPPO "highest paid person's opinion" Weird management style, capable of personal attack, talented with psychological pressure techniques

      Moving away from its roots

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I was attracted to Mars for its purpose-driven leadership and principles. People were first priority and learning and development was world-class. The family connection ensured that accountants didn't take the lead in thinking about how the company should progress and kept the focus on long-term; rather than short-term performance.

      Cons

      There has been a huge shift in leadership in the last few years. The leadership is more 'command/control' and their has been a focus on acquisition, without focus on the foundations that are required to support new business (people, leadership, capability, infrastructure). Senior leadership are holding onto roles and benefits rather than doing what is best for the company and it is very difficult to progress because of constant mindless organisational changes.

      Pros

      Great company prior to the merge. Took great care of their associates. Lots of training and learning that can be used anywhere.

      Cons

      Post merger, lots of ambiguity which led to low morale. Tons of new management that commanded vs leaded. Office morale super low.
