Pros

I've considered BAT to be one of the best places I've worked in for a very long time. Generally it is very respect driven atmosphere, pay and bonus is very competitive. Overall good perks and decent work-life balance.

Cons

A company is only as good as the people working there. Do not join the Data & Analytics department. It was a really good place between 2019 and 2022, but has deteriorated drastically since it's changed its leadership. Currently people are getting fired bit by bit, there is a lot of lying, and chaotic team changes that are not rooted in any analysis, just to be changed again after a few months. Uncertainty is through the roof and one is always at the risk of being fired. Leadership overpromises, overworks its employees and treats them with outmost lack of respect if things fail. Do not join this toxic team.

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
