Pros & Cons

  • The people, culture and chocolate!! My team are supportive of my learning and development.
  • The people I work with are world class. Truly. Simply by being here you feel like you have the ability to enact change and be imbued with purpose.
  • Fantastic working environment and culture. A lot of people willing and able to support you to learn and share their experiences with you. High level of flexibility in working hours and arrangements.
  • Everyone is very approachable and willing to help you develop. There is also a large emphasis on personal development and providing you with the opportunity to be the driver of your career.
  • Good company culture, effective onboarding, ability to work on site and at home
  • Large businesses are hard to manage because there are so many people moving in different directions at all times. This means that a lot of time and energy is spent coordinating rather than developing and strategizing. It is not terrible though as this coordination because output on an enormous scale.
  • Was not really eased into the role. Thrown into a project after my first few weeks and was expected to learn the company and it's processes whilst managing a project that was behind schedule.
  • Not many people my age, some disconnect from management
  • Sometimes difficult for people to find time to teach me.

For a chocolate business there is a HUGE commitment to sustainability both from a packaging and raw material perspective. I'm fully confident in my leaders, that we want to make the world better with our products not worse and that is something we are striving to achieve.

Culture
The company has been great. The engineering team has been involved in various off site team building tasks and the business as a whole is very relaxed and accommodating to any needs. This includes flexible working arrangements and hours etc. There is no clear hierarchy, everyone is an associate and the 5 guiding principles are instilled in everyone that works in the company, as a result, everyone and their opinion is valued.

Diversity
Mars is an incredibly diverse company where there's always lots of training in order to become more diverse and inclusive. I understand even the recruitment process is changing with regards to the psychometric testing as it was found though consulting with disability advocates that you could be missing a whole group of capable individuals based on their inability to perform the psychometric tests
