Pros

Always been a factory producing great leaders Love the culture as long as you are away from the global headoffice Big challenges and stretch for high potentials People are great (outside of Globe House)

Cons

Global headoffice lacks leadership. Everyone here is saving their own jobs Top leadership has lost track of what makes BAT such a great company Lack of direction for the end markets Too much focus on the back office stuff

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
