Pros

Great development, international opportunities, good pay and high ethical standards. Premises are excellent not only in the UK but also world wide. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

The company struggles to find its way in the none-combustible segment. The traditional markets are down and profits under pressure. The company support structures including finance will rightsize, so over time opportunities for growth and promotion will be limited.

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
