Pros

- cash rich organisation - great opportunities in markets to learn and develop

Cons

- unclear vision of the future of the organisation - from mid management upwards it is about whom you know rather then what you know and deliver - decision making is slow and even once a decision is made, it often is reversed - bullying is tolerated, particularly high up in the organisation

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
