Pros

Challenging projects that provide useful experiences, and cross-functional teams were very engaged, very willing to help and good to work with overall

Cons

If one person in a sr. position decides they don't like you, somehow you are pegged by others in sr. positions as well. This is an issue if you may have had one bad experience, as it will seem to follow you through your time at the organization.

Pros

I’ve been at Mars (Yorkville site) for about three months as a Quality Systems Senior Specialist, and so far it’s been a great experience. Everyone has been genuinely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The culture feels very supportive—people want to see you succeed and are quick to share knowledge and offer guidance. My manager has been amazing and is truly invested in my growth. She’s helped set clear expectations, encouraged development, and provided the tools and support I need to be successful.

Cons

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.
