Pros

- good bonus (Max 5 months) - company shuttle bus at 530pm - good bosses in my function - good D&D (7k rolex first prize lucky draw) - good benefits and welfare during covid-19.

Cons

- no career framework or promotion for both management and non-management - who smokes these day? i see more vaping than smoking even though vaping is illegal in singapore - if factory closes, not sure will BAT remains in Singapore - SNO shifting to KL, not sure if SG will survive as well - Very into Women Management Leadership recently. Male leaders tend to be from other countries and no SG homegrown ones. - HR very laidback. they used to have very driven HR team members (2 of them were some young talent of the year award nominees) but all left and now in better companies than BAT. - lots of highly seasoned people (at least 5 years in BAT)

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
