Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit, opinion counts, strong principles, good compensation and benefits (although not as high as it was in the past),

Cons

Not for everyone - need to have a high tolerance for ambiguity, enjoy constant change, strive in less structured environment, be comfortable with collaboration and consensus as this is still the predominant way of working.

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.
