Pluspunten

Great products, great brand recognition. Kids loved my working there. You decide the pace. pay is above average.

Minpunten

Old boys club, so you will kill yourself delivering and training, but you have to be a EU citizen to break the Director barrier or in IT one has to know the CIO personally. Concept of accountability is non existent. Company has been losing money for a decade and still refuses to see the writing on the wall and all one hears is how the entire CPG business is not doing well. Entire leadership is made of EU expats, so all they think about is maintaining the status quo, to keep the money coming and educating their kids. Stay long enough and you realize, no one is listening as everyone knows how things are going and all they want to do is stay the longest. Its an old boys club, so forget about promotions if you are not on the bandwagon. Top 150 people keep promoting one another and the rest are always talking about how great the family is. Ok, the family is fantastic, but where is my career growth?? its a cult, an dif you want to do something for your career, just stay away. Titles are ridiculous for people below Director so getting a job change is tough. So just stay away.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.
