Pros

Privately owned company where the family is still heavily involved, either directly or through their continued advocacy for the use of the Five Principles as a decision guide post. Great, talented associates who are allowed to thrive in a great culture.

Cons

You either love or hate Mars. If you're an independent self-motivated individual that continually upgrades your skills through self-learning and self-improvement, you'll love Mars. If you want to just float along, you'll quickly fall behind your peers and not enjoy your career experience.

Pros

Friendly informal environment, the Mars culture is a unique one to anywhere I have worked before, you have a lot of freedom to develop either in your current field or in a completely new field, very good benefits and wellness is a big thing

Cons

maybe not the most highest paying company, UK office/factory is based in Slough so not the nicest location, not a good fit for someone who likes working in a corporate environment

Pros

Upgrading all of the computers is a fairly easy job, and it is a fairly laid back atmosphere.

Cons

Having only the one job can lead to boredom, as I am only there to upgrade the computers.
