associate consultant - Anonymous employee Mars & Co Employee Review

Users say... "There is no upward review system which definitely shows in some of the poor management" "Underpaid relative to peers (no bonus below consultant level)" "Then, if a manager is abusive, they can expect to get away with it so long as upper management is satisfied with their work since associates do not have an HR team to go to with their concerns, just the multi" "2) Historical one client per industry model makes it harder for new VPs to sell projects to other CPG clients; 3) new VPs become glorified project managers (with greater impact of Mars' bonus cash pool) of projects sold by other VPs (this has changed recently but I am skeptical of a lasting trend); 4) This leads to smaller bonuses for rest of company (expediting exodus cycle mentioned earlier)" "The whole culture is completely toxic, and not a place any graduate should start their career."
