Pluspunten

- Very structured development and training opportunities - Good international assignments and project opportunities - Compensation is great, specially if you go on being mobile - Working environment is great at end markets. Not the case at regional level or at globe house. - Quality of employees is top: well educated, good experience, very results oriented leaders and pragmatic

Minpunten

- If you are not mobile, BAT does not have a long term career for you - Politics are strong in headquarters and you need to know people and "be visible" in order to get promoted - Not very critical in terms of the way we do things. Always looking within BAT, rather than outside best practices. - Leaders manage upwards and most of the time do not look after their people. - Senior leaders have big egos and are not willing to listen to employees - Innovation is NOT a BAT competence. Strategies are defined "conceptually innovative" but hardly ever implemented to innovation levels compared to other strong corporations. Innovation is in the growth agenda, but innovation does not drive the whole organization model shape.

Pluspunten

Very strong compensation package, lots of very nice genuine people on the Reynolds US side

Minpunten

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
