Most toxic company I ever worked.

Pros

Great healthcare support. International travel opportunities. The best development program on the market. Good leaders you can learn from (but not trust).

Cons

You only get promoted if you play the political game. There's NO diversity. The company has a specific employee profile. If you don't belong to the company behaviour you won't get anything. There is a hidden agenda in every leader. The company is dark. The company culture was explicit build to don't have transparency. The employees are massive about the culture. It seems like brainwashing. This is so deep and orchestrated that I just realize how much sad this company was years after leaving the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Mars values are reviewed in PDP reviews, Team Buildings and Impact Sessions. So management in general is compromised with the company's values. You have ability to shift roles if you have good network of people. In general the company tries its best to make sure you can perform well.

Cons

As with any big company things can move slow, specially when submitting a project for review and approval. Sometimes to get things done you need to speak with or convince too many people. It can be frustrating if you want to be agile or move quickly.
