I have been working at Mars full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Family-owned business not exposed to markets’s risks. Company’s products are cool. Benefits and compensation schemes ok. Multi-cultural exposure and some travel for manager positions.
Cons
Workload. Old school management « a l’ancienne », pretending to transform but not changing leaders, mostly interested by securing their personal strategy rather than the true customers benefits. Old ways of working! pretending diversity and inclusion not translated into acts in France. Biaises in the performance ratings. An old organization that overuses engagement to reduce overheads and make people work like crazy with little recognition.
Advice to Management
Food business is transforming, and to attract and retain talent in a 100+ years old company, watch closely what competition is doing, factually. The ratio of self promoted thought leaders vs. real business doers.
