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.

Pros

- Complete autonomy with schedule which provides for a nice balance between work and personal life - Impact people who are trying to grow their careers - Company car and free* gas is pretty nice

Cons

- Autonomy & freedom does leave time where you have to be self-motivated to keep going and push forward

Pros

Very strong compensation package, lots of very nice genuine people on the Reynolds US side

Cons

Toxic, politically charged environment, cliques of people each trying to place their own people in roles. A singular mis-trust and dislike of "outside" people who are brought in to move the company forward but the existing people who have worked there for years and years are all trying to protect and sustain their own roles and their own cliques. All show and pretty presentations but no meaningful, meaty strategy
