Mars reviews

Recruiters do not respond to internal / external applicants if they are not selected for a role. If you participate in an interview process, then I feel you should get a response from the recruiters. Not very professional coming from a company such as Mars. Recruiters are external facing and an introduction to the business - you need to hire recruiters who are on top of their game - its a competitive world out there.

It is really disappointing to see how the organization approaches talent and career management. Unfortunately, good talent leaves because 1) decision criteria and role requirements are not consistent, 2) your potential is determined more by who you know and not by your results or your how (no matter how much feedback or proactive development you seek out) which creates a very inauthentic environment, and 3) leadership and human resources do not practice transparency so folks are constantly left questioning their self-worth and where they stand. Mars claims to be a ‘people passionate’ and culture driven organization, yet they do not put these values into practice. What is really sad is that the human resources’ function plays a big role in what happens and as they also operate in the same way as describe above, there is no accountability. It’s the part of the culture that is not spoken about. In addition, many people experience burn out. Work-life balance is extremely hard to achieve, and you will have to put in a ton of extra hours before or after you take some time off to make up for it. Since you need to work really hard to be able to be out of the office for a few days, taking a vacation actually becomes stressful.
