Pros

Lots of change and energy within the company. Great brands and a passion for growth.

Cons

Unclear and ever-changing objectives leave associates not know what to do in order to move ahead. The biggest watch out, associates who work on the most successful brands don't stay or are removed.

Pros

Lots of great people with a varied backgrounds and experience. Depending on what level you're at and department you're in there are opportunities to move around within company.

Cons

The culture there can be very off-putting. They have their Mars values but the management doesn't really live up to them. There are no offices (not even for the President), but they make a huge distinction between exempt & non-exempt employees to the point of it being degrading to the non-exempt employees. New high level employees will be nice to everyone until they figure out what level you are and then they often quickly change their tune when they realize you are beneath them. The interview process is utterly grueling and hiring managers often only want people from their own alma maters. They are highly discriminatory against keeping and hiring older employees and only want new/young talent.

Pros

Associate development is a real core value that is lived everyday in Mars. The culture within this organisation is unique, forward thinking and fun. It's a company that hires great people which creates great results.

Cons

A lot is expected of its associates. It's a great working environment but the work life balance can be a challenge.
