Pros

No matter the level of your position, your opinion counts! Highly appreciate a democratic way of making decisions, at Mars an associate has a widest range of possibilities to express his/her creativity and ideas

Cons

Location - mostly, all Mars big sites are not in the capitals or big cities but in small. But it was a cons for me, lots of people love it

Pros

Mars recruits high caliber people and provides 'BIG' jobs at all levels. Analyst positions at Mars can have the same scope and level of responsibility as Director levels at other companies. They like you to change roles every 2-3 years so you gain diverse experience across the organization. Mars pays above average, but you have to factor in the real value of the work, in my example the pay may be high for an Analyst but low for a Director.

Cons

The downside at Mars is that you need to manage your own career development. You must assess for any internal opportunities (lateral or promotional). Your direct manager does not have the ability to give you a promotion or to impact your salary increases. Which means for the high performing, self-directed associates they tend to hire, managers have little value.

Pros

Responsible employees, professional people. It doesn´t matter how many hours you work, what matters is the result. Good work/life balance. Respect for employee. Good company culture, happy and friendly environment that makes you be motivated. Teamwork. Your ideas as listened, no matter who you are. You can always make a difference. Very good quality products. I don´t know how, but when you go to the groceries to make your own buy, you can not avoid taking a look to the shelves to see if Mars products are correctly placed... Sometimes you forget you don´t own the comany :-)

Cons

Poor in knowledge management and consistancy in processes. Poor it systems that make business slow. Politics are very important to get your way through. Sometimes it depends as well on the manager you have. Very slow organization. Lack of discipline.
