      Pros

      Nothing as such is positive

      Cons

      Lots: 1. The culture is completely toxic across all functions. 2. Leadership team role changes in every 3 years thus each leader prepares strategy which are for short term benefit, ignoring the long term interest of the organisation. 3. Favouritism is at its peak. People with zero technical skills can reach higher position while some people with good technical struggle to get a promotion. 4. There is no data in the company across all functions for any kind of analysis 5. Forget about work life balance, you'll keep on working and there will be zero recognition for the good work you'll be do. 6. Manager do not have leadership skill, they keep on thinking about their benefit and promotion and don't focus on subordinate's development.

      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.
