      Not the best company for technical people, especially women

      Data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are quite good

      Cons

      Internal technical talent is treated very poorly. Women are paid less than men in the same position despite having more skills, education, experience, etc. Also, women are severely abused by the business leaders they work with, are treated like slaves, harassed, and emotionally abused.

      General
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      benefits and generous travel accommodations

      Cons

      they try to break you down to build you back up, intense leadership trainings that actually led some colleagues to breakdown, very toxic, managers are believed over workers, boys club benefits the boys or those who will act like boys or be complicit with them, if you cant relocate forget any advancement opps

      Digital Transformation? Erm...

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -good compensation, generous pension -looks strong on the CV

      Cons

      - an absolute absences of decison makers - no long-term planning - digital marketing is a revolving door - an absence of specialists (most people in Mars have been with the company for 13-20 years and completely lost a sense of perspective or never even had it) - mess is called "working in ambiguity" -last miute decisons are labelled as "being agile" -internal IT systems are a joke - so archaic and slow -business is slow, as every decision needs to go through the multiple cycles of approvals -culture is poor - no one lives by 5 key statements -very political environment -no space to grow, unless you move into a different segment across the org -poor work/life balance -everything is outsourced to third-party agencies -work boils down to producing positive results on paper...immediate quanity, not quality
