Pros

-good compensation, generous pension -looks strong on the CV

Cons

- an absolute absences of decison makers - no long-term planning - digital marketing is a revolving door - an absence of specialists (most people in Mars have been with the company for 13-20 years and completely lost a sense of perspective or never even had it) - mess is called "working in ambiguity" -last miute decisons are labelled as "being agile" -internal IT systems are a joke - so archaic and slow -business is slow, as every decision needs to go through the multiple cycles of approvals -culture is poor - no one lives by 5 key statements -very political environment -no space to grow, unless you move into a different segment across the org -poor work/life balance -everything is outsourced to third-party agencies -work boils down to producing positive results on paper...immediate quanity, not quality

Pros

Only good thing was free food

Cons

Have to work with racist people who will not help you and will try to get you fired. Operators and co workers. They added a camera in the Control Tech shop just to try to build a case on the people they dont like. When I started there the entire HR team were of color and about 8 months later they were all told to either get another job within the company or they need to leave because they felt they didnt need an HR team on site. They were there to protect employees from managers trying to fire people for silly things only because the majority, which were white, didnt like you.
