Business Outlook

Pros

I met some amazing people at Mars and was able to learn a great deal about the company. In the time I was there I grew professionally, traveled, learned and had some fantastic experiences.

Cons

All of my line managers were incompetent and unable to help me in the roles I had at Mars. The recruiting process is a joke and the company hires inept people while at the same time ignoring hard-working, able candidates for open jobs.

Great Intentions, poor execution

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Clear strategic direction based on growth model that is used globally. Focus on talent development and line manager excellence. Above average compensation and bonus availabilty.

Cons

Like most organisation still are not able to understand that results are based on quality not quantity. Bigger picture is lost to the unavoidable monthly cycle required deliverables. Well positioned to do well if it learns to focus.
