Pros

very people development focused strong line management great company culture very international, particularly in IT part of it possibility to move countries

Cons

too afraid to really innovate - all step-changes at times too siloed - different business not always sharing best practices or talent used to be controlled too tightly by the family (governance questions), but this has improved since current CEO has joined

Pros

I’ve been at Mars (Yorkville site) for about three months as a Quality Systems Senior Specialist, and so far it’s been a great experience. Everyone has been genuinely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The culture feels very supportive—people want to see you succeed and are quick to share knowledge and offer guidance. My manager has been amazing and is truly invested in my growth. She’s helped set clear expectations, encouraged development, and provided the tools and support I need to be successful.

Cons

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.
