Pros

Some Good benefits such as healthcare and Pension for permanent staff, and some good people work here. Plenty of free parking,

Cons

Not much opportunity of progression, very lean in most areas. Leavers (of which there have been many this year) are rarely replaced, meaning that most associates are juggling several roles with little support from remote senior management. No overtime paid to office staff. Not a very happy atmosphere. Lots of silos and negative changes. Not paid as much as other Mars units for same roles.

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.
