Pros

Friendly informal environment, the Mars culture is a unique one to anywhere I have worked before, you have a lot of freedom to develop either in your current field or in a completely new field, very good benefits and wellness is a big thing

Cons

maybe not the most highest paying company, UK office/factory is based in Slough so not the nicest location, not a good fit for someone who likes working in a corporate environment
