Pros

If you are a fresh graduate or someone who wants to change a career - this is the place. You have pretty good chance to get a job even if you have zero skills. Simply because your employer have neither. But progressing and learning is a bummer - jobs are heavily fragmented so you likely to end up doing same thing again and again.

Cons

No sense of direction, screaming lack of professional skills across organisation, mantra - we'll outsource it to get it working. Reorganisation every 4 years that moves people nearly randomly. Some IT offices are clearly stagnant without any chance for promotion or broadening your skills. But the main bummer for me - lack of governance and management making your job a constant firefight. Every day. Management call it 'cat herding' justifying chaos by saying that Mars IS is so flexible. So, you might learn halfway into your project that budget authorization has been revoked, people allocated to you suddenly asked to do something on the side that totally distracts them. The thing you did today might get redundant tomorrow. People leaving 'wn masse' every year after bonuses paid and resume updated with 'did this&that'

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.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
