Pros

Diverse workforce with employees from a variety of countries. Bilingual environment (English and Japanese). Variety of ages in the office. Above average pay. Opportunities for global mobility for some.

Cons

Some managers are stuck in their old fashioned ways - saying things like "when I was your age, I worked in the office from 6am - Midnight everyday" (after I brought up workload concerns). I had a team member who started treating me poorly after learning I was younger than her - she pushed me to leave the company. I realized she wanted my role and later ended up taking it. Excessive and unnecessary meetings and powerpoints.

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
