Pros

- Multiple international projects/ work diversity - Fast experience growth in IT Management area, world class experience in service/project mngt areas - Quite good work-life balance - Flexible hours, "work from home" policy exists - Strong HR brand - Lots of highly-motivated people to help you and support you.

Cons

- Despite the Top Mngt's slogans about "entrepreneurship", "agility", "fast changes" and "Steve Jobs" style presentations , the IT Department stays conservative, may be challenging for result-driven persons due to processes "ping-pong" among IT teams and bureaucracy - Company uses lots of non-monetory motivation tools, average salary is lower than an average one per local IT industry - Career promotion is limited and not transparent, favouritism is widespread - In some extent, Corp culture looks aggressive: "Team! Team! Team!" is everywhere, but some people like - Probably not the right place for those who want to grow as technical IT experts. - "Open space" office may turn into a hell for those who need silence to have focus on smth, but depends personally.

Pros

Mars is all about the brands. It's a really fun environment that comes alive in the brands people love

Cons

Mars culture is build on knowing how to navigate the organization. People are rewarded for managing ambiguity vs installing process. Good or bad depending on your personality

Pros

Admirable Products, Paramount quality, resilient global process, system driven organization.

Cons

Poor Management, 3rd rated India HR both at corporate and at plant level (busy only in politics), no motivation for employees. Old timers are staying just because of old culture but top management is only bothered about there jobs, incentives, short term management. Most of the executors have no faith in management because of their incompetency. Plant HR is worst with no ethics, principles and no connect except for managing politics. In last two years so many talented people have left the organization and sales are dipping regularly due to that.
