Mars has its pros and cons

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on group, teamwork can be great, along with people who really want you to succeed. Open office atmosphere (can also be a con) is cool also.

Cons

Location, pay, and often the ability to move around can be cons. Not all group are big on team work and lot of competitiveness that can be a bit much, probably due to year end review structure. Can be extremely political. Work life balance is also not great. Also not much training provided generally.

very people development focused strong line management great company culture very international, particularly in IT part of it possibility to move countries

Cons

too afraid to really innovate - all step-changes at times too siloed - different business not always sharing best practices or talent used to be controlled too tightly by the family (governance questions), but this has improved since current CEO has joined
