nice people, boring work (3.5 stars) - Consumer Insights Mars Employee Review

The entire company (Wrigley especially but Mars as a whole) is totally lost when it comes to growth. Emphasis is on taking costs out of products rather than adding value, so great ideas get squashed or stripped of whatever makes them interesting. The focus on developing talent means that people are sometimes put in positions that aren't appropriate for their skills or mindsets because they need to be promoted or want to learn about a new area.
