As good as any corporation

Pros

Good benefits and ok salary. Short Fridays with work life balance being good. A couple of higher management people that are really great to learn from. BAT internal website with career openings around the world.

Cons

Some questionable promotions, not based on expertise and knowledge but on who's children are playing sports together on weekends. You can see some really incompetent people on higher positions. I guess that is the case everywhere. If you are level 34 i think (executive), your promotion path is almost non-existent, because of that there are so many employees on the same level for years. Salaries are transparent, for example you know the range for your level, BUT like everywhere else some people are severely underpaid for the quality of work they give.

Free but Messy

Pros

- Relatively good salary - Complete freedom as long as your task done - Flexible working hours - Good office and good benefits (free snacks, drinks, alcohol...etc) - People quite nice, and usually smart enough to work with - Clear R&R and ownership

Cons

- Unstable structure, changes every 6 ~ 12 months, your can have 4 different LM within a year hence bad IDP management - Care about your MOBILITY more than your ABILITY, so if you wanna climb the ladder, prepare to be mobiled - Bad marketing strategy - The whole structure shrinking massively right now (by asking you to move to other country)
