Mars is a privately held, family-owned company that makes food, snacks and pet products. Mars Snacking makes candy brands such as M&M's, Snickers and Skittles. Mars Petcare sells pet food brands like Pedigree and Royal Canin, and runs veterinary hospitals such as Banfield Pet Hospital. Mars Food makes rice and meals under brands including Ben's Original. The company is based in McLean, Virginia.
Mars was founded on June 23, 1911, in Tacoma, Washington, by Franklin Clarence Mars. It is still owned entirely by the Mars family, making it the fourth-largest privately held company in the U.S. It reported $45 billion in sales in 2022 and employs about 150,000 people worldwide. That means anyone working there answers to a family that owns the whole company, not to public shareholders. Mars is a top-tier H-1B sponsor.1

- 1. Company description. Written by InterviewOS from Mars's public materials and press coverage; facts are checked against the sources below.
- 2. Weekly counts. A count is the number of listings the pipeline saw for the first time in that week. Weeks begin Monday; the onboarding week is excluded from the scale and every average.
- 3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on Mars's own hiring system; last check October 28, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
- 4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of Mars's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
