Pros

Very flexible, supportive colleagues, accessibility to training, dogs in the office!

Cons

Loyal staff are overlooked, especially once you hit a certain age. Huge amounts of red tape and internal process to go through. As a result you get little time to focus on your customer and no longer have any autonomy. Mars used to have a great culture but unfortunately this has been lost when bringing in lots of external recruits.
