Pros

Depending on group, teamwork can be great, along with people who really want you to succeed. Open office atmosphere (can also be a con) is cool also.

Cons

Location, pay, and often the ability to move around can be cons. Not all group are big on team work and lot of competitiveness that can be a bit much, probably due to year end review structure. Can be extremely political. Work life balance is also not great. Also not much training provided generally.

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.
