Pros

Successful brands, lots of support, good pople.

Cons

The "professional" management who replaced the family destroyed a vibrant culture by instituting a destructive personnel development system. Management changed from Mars Centurions to temporary mercenaries. Lack of focus on results rife due to focus on cosmetics.

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.
