Pros

Good benefits, stability, and good at promoting from within. Plenty of talented people.

Cons

Spend too much time on engagement and coddling to high maintenance employees. As Mars puts its signature on this business, it deteriorates. You can watch groups go dysfunctional as Mars brings them under their umbrella and it's frustrating to work with. Working with Mars' IT, AP, and AR is not a pleasant experience. Getting HR support on benefits or anything else is also very frustrating.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
