Mars Symbioscience - An utter nightmare and career killer

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mars, Inc is truly a great company. The pet and chocolate divisions are wonderful places to work, run by very smart people.

Cons

Stay away from the Symbioscience Division. It is managed by a family member whose behavior and management skills are often frightening. The management team of the unit have little to no management experience. Their sole mission is to ensure that the unit spends their budgets, as volume and profitability are not really that important. If you are really serious about your professional career and reputation, I highly recommend staying in the pet, food or candy units.
