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.

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.
