      Pros

      Privately held company that trickles down the family values and is lived by most associates. Great benefits and pay. Very good people that work within the global company.

      Cons

      Big company that is slow to move to capture success in the market. Sometimes it takes forever to move projects ahead or execute.

      Mars delivers career growth

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities in multiple segments (Petcare, Confectionery, Food) and around the world. If you are motivated and have the ability to deliver, you can have a long career with Mars. Mars has company values that dictate how you do the work, so cultural fit is important here.

      Cons

      Can feel less agile than other companies. Because it has grown through acquisition, there are lots of sub-cultures.

      IT management in this place is borderline ridiculous.

      Pros

      If you are a fresh graduate or someone who wants to change a career - this is the place. You have pretty good chance to get a job even if you have zero skills. Simply because your employer have neither. But progressing and learning is a bummer - jobs are heavily fragmented so you likely to end up doing same thing again and again.

      Cons

      No sense of direction, screaming lack of professional skills across organisation, mantra - we'll outsource it to get it working. Reorganisation every 4 years that moves people nearly randomly. Some IT offices are clearly stagnant without any chance for promotion or broadening your skills. But the main bummer for me - lack of governance and management making your job a constant firefight. Every day. Management call it 'cat herding' justifying chaos by saying that Mars IS is so flexible. So, you might learn halfway into your project that budget authorization has been revoked, people allocated to you suddenly asked to do something on the side that totally distracts them. The thing you did today might get redundant tomorrow. People leaving 'wn masse' every year after bonuses paid and resume updated with 'did this&that'
