Pros

Great people to work with, research rich organization, a leader in the confectionery business, has the feel of a smaller company even though it's part of the massive Mars organization.

Cons

Certain departments are staffed with long term employees who are comfortable in their roles therefore the opportunity for mobility and role changes/promotions can be limited.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
