Depends on which function you are in

Pros

Great core values from Mars and great talent from an IC perspective. Sales are the shining star in this Organization, an execution machine - they just don't have great innovation to work with and are trying to do their best with core products (that are great). Great Category Management team that provide clear insights into what the main issues are (and there are many!).

Cons

Supply Chain are a complete disaster with many employees realizing that management are holding them accountable without providing any leadership to help. No clue about how to sort out fundamental SC issues like good customer service. The people that are doing the real work are working hard but not really getting anywhere. Marketing have no idea what to do, they are clearly lost which is why the President cleaned house, need to get this sorted out to start to move forward.

It is a Great Place to Work

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit, opinion counts, strong principles, good compensation and benefits (although not as high as it was in the past),

Cons

Not for everyone - need to have a high tolerance for ambiguity, enjoy constant change, strive in less structured environment, be comfortable with collaboration and consensus as this is still the predominant way of working.

Five principles don't exist

Pros

Free chocolate, very individualistic work style so you can shine if you talk loud and present well, no accountability for results, no depth so you will never be caught out :)

Cons

Culture is horrible - they tout those five principles all the time but no one believes in them. Manage your boss and his boss and you will grow No career development and no process, you are expected to make your own way Shifting standards for performance every year based on who you talk to No accountability for bad behavior for senior people
