Pluspunten
Great place to build skills in a mature Fortune 500 environment. Strong commitment to culture across the organization. Leadership is supportive of professional development and most team members had good visibility with executives. Worked on interesting projects throughout my time there. Good benefits and reasonable work-life balance most of the time. This is dependent on your team and manager though. Richmond, VA headquarters but remote flexibility available for some roles.
Minpunten
Like many large companies, can be slow to make decisions due to bureaucracy. Multiple layers of management often meant that people who know and understand the problems and constraints don't have authority to make necessary changes and people with the authority don't know or understand the work well enough to make meaningful changes. Work life balance is heavily dependent on your manager. Some will ensure that people are not overworked while others will take it as a point of pride that they put in an extra 15-25 hours a week and can't understand why others can't do the same. Being in the tobacco industry isn't for everyone, though the company takes its mission seriously.
