Pros

Responsible employees, professional people. It doesn´t matter how many hours you work, what matters is the result. Good work/life balance. Respect for employee. Good company culture, happy and friendly environment that makes you be motivated. Teamwork. Your ideas as listened, no matter who you are. You can always make a difference. Very good quality products. I don´t know how, but when you go to the groceries to make your own buy, you can not avoid taking a look to the shelves to see if Mars products are correctly placed... Sometimes you forget you don´t own the comany :-)

Cons

Poor in knowledge management and consistancy in processes. Poor it systems that make business slow. Politics are very important to get your way through. Sometimes it depends as well on the manager you have. Very slow organization. Lack of discipline.

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.
