Pros

A fun place to work obviously, work-life balance was excellent, teleworking is by department. Lots of fun event days, big on volunteering and sustainability. Some really great people there. Good pay.

Cons

You have to "punch the clock" which is antiquated. A huge focus on employee satisfaction leads to extra fluff work at times. Big on culture, office politics and ways of working through the business. Lots of recent changes and reorganization happens often.

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.
