Pros

Global opportunities, privately held, pets in the office, flexible schedules and tremendous learning opportunities.

Cons

Leadership is unapproachable, unavailable and often unpredictable. Ego driven management team leads with a "what's-in-it-for-me/mine" mindset rather than focusing on what's best for the organization. In-fighting hurts growth, innovation and the culture. Tremendous amount of churn and change management is NOT a strength of current leadership. Mutuality is one of the Five Principles that Mars considers the foundation of their business model. Unfortunately, it's a myth as it relates to people and advancement. The wage gap between genders is disheartening.

Pros

The money is good and it's nice to have a company car. There are still some great people there who have a great work ethic.

Cons

Too much restructuring. They step over a dollar to save a nickle. For a family company, it sure seems corporate. No one ever gets an Outstanding or Exceeds Expectations on a review. The most you can hope for on a raise is 3%.
