Mars reviews

Highly political environment, management focuses on what you're doing wrong and call you out on it and rarely acknowledge what you're doing right, lots of gossiping, lacks corporate maturity by hiring inexperienced people with poor people and management skills, open office environment allows everyone to watch/listen to everyone which feeds the gossip chain, no work/life balance, personnel evaluations by management are political and sometimes includes aspects of an associate's personal life, has a designated 'crying room' which is a small, windowless office with a table and a few chairs - used for terminating employees, high turnover, too much politics for a company this size, quick to fire people.

There's no limit for activities to be pushed at the worker; unrealistic work hours for some teams (44 week-hours plus 10 weekend hours); policies about career path and growth make it seem wonderful, reality is completelly different; lots of junior managers without previous management experience using analysts work to grow and forgetting about analysts later; brown nosing environment generates frustration in hard working employees; yearly mandatory develment plan doesn't necessarily lead employees to the positions they wish to reach.
