      Pros

      Whole range of very nice challenging & innovative projects which allow you to prove yourself in that kind of role (Project fields like: food process, machinery, infrastructure, sustainability etc. - they allow you to lead quite big budget projects vs your experience - huge plus for trusting people and allowing them to gain the experience on the real battlefield. Good atmosphere at work. No barriers at work - you can easily reach the management. Private-owned company - No shareholders looking over your shoulder to mess with the solutions (etc.) applied by project team. If you have a big family: insurance, healthcare package & some other social bonuses are a big plus.

      Cons

      Very Low compensation vs responsibility on that position. Low compenstation comparing to competitor companies in the FMCG & other businesses. Flexible working time - except some days when you can sleep a bit longer it means that you burn yourself out to deliver the project and get nothing back (no paid overtime -> In the end you have huge responsibility, lots of stress and your salary is lower than the one machine operator gets doing few overtime shifts. Work/life balance. Lack of resources - recruitment processes last extremely long which means that you always lack some specialists in the project and have to do the job yourself...

      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.
