Mars reviews

As happens everywhere, there are some less than exceptional line managers that make the job difficult for direct reports. When interviewing, be sure to assess the hiring manager just like he/she will be assessing you.

Despite the vast portfolio of brands, you really don't get the opportunity to shift from, say, Petcare to Chocolate or Wrigley. Senior leadership is a revolving door, and that means tons and tons of reorganizations, shifting priorities, and inability for anyone to make a decision. The re-orgs have been brutal (imagine heavily recruiting people away from other companies only to let them go six months later after their position was deemed 'non-strategic' by new leadership). No one seems to retire from Mars - they either leave or get re-org'ed out. It's great to get Mars on your resume - and you'll make great connections - but don't expect to spend your career here.
