Rewarding company but good luck trying to rise

Business Outlook

Pros

- Large company - Five principles establish a positive company narrative that is largely operationalized -Many associates are quite passionate about what they do -Services and good delivered to the world have a good impact in the world -Company makes a visible effort to advance inclusion and diversity

Cons

-Half of the internal advancements I observed around me were not merit-based, but based on connections. -Mars' narrative that you can grow only goes as far as what you can learn for free. The company never invested in my growth and development in a meaningful way. -In my experience, P&O (i.e., Human Resources) was quite opaque, negligent and irresponsible in situations requiring more than pro forma document preparation. When I really needed Human Resources expertise, I had nowhere to turn. I also have not seen anyone in human resource held accountable for the mistakes made and inaction when I needed support.
