Digital Transformation? Erm... - Anonymous employee Mars Employee Review

- an absolute absences of decison makers - no long-term planning - digital marketing is a revolving door - an absence of specialists (most people in Mars have been with the company for 13-20 years and completely lost a sense of perspective or never even had it) - mess is called "working in ambiguity" -last miute decisons are labelled as "being agile" -internal IT systems are a joke - so archaic and slow -business is slow, as every decision needs to go through the multiple cycles of approvals -culture is poor - no one lives by 5 key statements -very political environment -no space to grow, unless you move into a different segment across the org -poor work/life balance -everything is outsourced to third-party agencies -work boils down to producing positive results on paper...immediate quanity, not quality
