Pros

Great benefits, always fun to see the new products. The company as a whole is a great company with lots of opportunity for movement, both up and across the world. Can take your animal to work with you!

Cons

The corporate office does not have anyone who handles "HR" issues. Lots of office politics due to the open office. Also, very slow to change with everyone being terrified of making a decision or change that goes wrong. The company is STILL using Lotus Notes in 2016. The company also does not believe in work-life balance.

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.
