Pros

Pay continues to be above the 50% percentile. International exposure and experience. Good people in most of the positions except leadership.

Cons

A confused leadership. Blame oriented, Engagement is only a number to achieve but not truly practiced. If you are 50 or more they work hard on getting you out of the organization. Work life balance is only a principle on paper try practicing and we will fire you. Highly political environment.

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.
