      Graduate programmes at Mars - disappointing

      Account management
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Non hierarchical structure Opportunities to learn and develop Generally employees are capable and competent

      Cons

      Unfortunately your experience as a graduate at Mars will very much depend on the placements you are given and the manager appointed to you. This can feel very random. Many graduates have left Mars mid way through the scheme or after, due to a lack of support from those who are supposed to be providing it. The MMDP is high profile and challenging, but very little is done to retain good talent at the end of the programme which is why so many talented employees leave to pursue careers in companies where they will be recognised and rewarded fairly. Mars is slow and frustrating at times - it is not the place for those with an entrepreneurial spirit.

      Hi. Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it – both positive and constructive. It’s good to hear you feel there are opportunities to learn and develop at Mars, as we do aim to provide the right development opportunities for our graduates and support them in their early careers. Your comments around lack of support and recognition are areas we take very seriously at Mars. We’re investing heavily in a Great Line Management Programme and in workshops to diagnose how we continue to provide the right support and development for the next generation of talent entering our organisation. Many of our senior leaders began their careers on the graduate programme, and we’re 100% committed to making sure that remains the case well into the future. We wish you every success for your future - Mars Future Talent Team.
