Pros

It is a great learning environment, some of the best people in the country are working there.. Good international opportunities.. Globally cares for its employees..Transparent culture, access to senior management..Competitive pay and benefits, especially at senior level

Cons

There is no balance in management either people are too lenient or too tough-the system is highly dependent on the people. One year you can be star (if your manager likes you) the other year with a new manager you can be out of the door. Locally - depending on the country commercial performance- there is less work-life balance..Ever changing strategies, focus and priorities..

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
