Mars®, Uncle Ben’s®, Snickers®, Whiskas®, M&M’s®, Dolmio®, Twix®, Pedigree®, Maltesers®… these are just some of the household name brands that form the global, $40bn Mars portfolio, making it one of the world’s biggest consumer goods companies.
But it’s the unique culture that separates Mars from the rest. Based on our five principles, over 60,000 associates in more than 106 countries enjoy the degree of freedom and responsibility unparalleled in the business world.
Still a family-run business and entirely privately owned, we are able to invest our own profits in developing the organisation. This means associates have the freedom to think differently and do things normal convention wouldn’t allow. With this being the case, our graduates get all the support, freedom and responsibility they need. But ultimately, it’s the graduates themselves that drive their projects forward, and shape things as they go along. Whether your talents lie in research and development, engineering, sales, marketing, finance, procurement or general management, Mars’ renowned development programmes offer responsibility reight from the very first day. Graduates get to work on real projects, carefully chosen to suit their development needs. Support in the pursuit of professional qualifications with financial sponsorship, study leave and regular two-way feedback is a given.
Structured around a rigorous training curriculum and strong individual mentoring relationships, the programmes offer talented individuals an opportunity to take their career in their own hands while benefiting from the years of experience in developing some of the UK’s leading managers.
