Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent people, great atmosphere, democratic relationship b/w different levels in the organization, relatively well paid, invest long term into employees development, great place to work and grow, outstanding treatment of associates, unique and exciting culture

Cons

Has been finding it's way in the last 5-7 years, changing course and moving from EU/UN style collegian balanced and distributed leadership to centralized US focused organization, losing great talent around the world and having a large impact on the original Mars corporate culture. It is not easy to find balance between speed of change and market competition vs quality and Mars cultural principles.
