Pros

The international-ish culture can bring you some fun co-workers.

Cons

Terrible company culture which truly is the reflection of a company trying to do what it can in a middle of a dying industry. I would say that BAT's #1 problem is talent retention. They have the hardest time hiring or retaining some good employees so they are stuck with a poor management and fill middle management positions with some old school sales rep who have no understanding of what they are doing and will try to bring their rep experience and management in marketing and finance... Good luck with that.

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
