      Good privately owned company.

      Pros

      The company has good benefits along with promoting a good work / life balance. The base salary is pretty competitive. There are some great people that you will work with. Company has a solid cash flow and has a strong market share in many of the divisions.

      Cons

      Most positions have group or division bonus plans which means that your individual performance doesn't affect your total compensation fairly. The company is slow to change at times with somewhat vague communication from senior managment. There is a little too much corporate red tape when it comes to sometimes the smallest tasks being completed.

      Should Be WAY More Fun to Work There Than It Is!

      Pros

      Great product line. Excellent marketing. Wonderful, talented people.

      Cons

      Ridiculous office culture where there is no privacy to work effectively or efficiently...all because of some quirky idea the owners had that employees with offices made those without offices feel inferior. Not to worry, they have plenty of other ways to make all their employees feel inferior--unfair reviews, required time card punch even for salaried employees that carries with it a financial penalty if you're late, completely unrealistic expectations in terms of work/life balance. I could go on and on.

      Meritocratic, relatively concensual, open/verbal/extroverted and results orientated culture

      Pros

      High expectations on performance are matched by levels of freedom. It is a principally (see below) meritocratic and relatively concensual culture: once you have invested up front in getting everyone on-board things can happen fast. In general you have a big say in your future development in the business and there are plenty of opportunities to move around the world with the business, if that is what you want.

      Cons

      The Mars leadership norm is extroverted and verbal, matching the businesses US origins. If you do not match this style, no amount of performance or personal development will get you into the upper echelons. The culture loves change and dynamism and consequently passively resists structure & systems, so lean processes are difficult to embed for example. The business is respectful of the individual but this must not be confused with caring !
