      Challenging Environment, may get stuck in a position without clear feedback

      Pros

      Challenging work environment. Will learn a lot about how to analyze quantitative issues, and sometimes will get client exposure. Compensation at each level is on par with most top consulting firms.

      Cons

      You can get stuck in the same position at Mars & Co if you get switched from project manager to project manager. Best option is to work with one project manager and develop a repertoire with him and get promoted, else it will take you a long time to get promoted even if you have good reviews. Majority of projects are similar, can get stuck on one type of project for a long time.

      Was a good place to start

      Pros

      Room for fast promotion and given the rope to hang yourself wth so to speak. Generally fairly good people and a collegial atmosphere among those PM and below.

      Cons

      People not always the best. Some great people, and not many terrible, but a lot of second bests. Communciation from management not visible and company is not run poorly, rather it is not run.

      Pros

      When comparing to other consulting companies, here are some of the benefits of Mars & Co: - Given that we do purely strategy, the work itself is very interesting and always challenging/rewarding - There is no travel "schedule" of Mon-Thurs on site. We travel only when necessary, and use the office as home base whenever possible - There is also no promotion "schedule", so if you do well, you can be promoted very quickly - Global reach allows for international travel opportunities - Relatively small company, so it is easy to get to know everyone in the office - Only serve one client per industry, so every project is a new industry - keeps things interesting and you're rarely doing the same thing over and over - Great benefits: fully paid health insurance, dental, reimbursement for Lasik, free gym membership

      Cons

      Mars is a one-man show, run entirely by the CEO, with very little visibility provided to anyone else (including most VPs). As a result, it is practically impossible to know what the true state of the company is or where people stand at the end of the day. Furthermore, any decisions (promotions, raises, etc) are at his sole discretion, or that of a select few, with little recourse for employees who may disagree. As with any consulting job, work-life balance is difficult. You may get lucky and be staffed on an "easy" project, but even then you are expected to make your evenings, weekends, and even planned vacations available for work. Some managers are better about this than others.
