Pros

A reputable company with long period of success; Good remuneration to retain right talents; People tend to stay in the firm forever due to the comfortable industry, hence comfortable working environment

Cons

An uncertain industry with strong fear of “dark market” and further smoking bans; Company is constantly introducing changes to the organisation, hence hard for employees to manage their career; Truly relationship driven company, number and performance sometimes are secondary criteria in career advancement

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
