A commitment to diversity is a joke. With the latest round of layoffs, the company got much less diverse. I'm terms of thought, race, orientation, and sex.
The work load is not only impossible but makes no sense. The only folks that rise to the top are liars, fakes, lazy employees, master manipulators, or sociopaths willing to sacrifice their entire life to the game.
Regardless of the role, much of your day is talking people of the ledge. Whether it be buyers, cycle planners, retailers, TMs, peers... managing the suck is exhausting and you never succeed
HR is non-existent.
HQ budgets are mismanaged as the priorities are always changing and either we need to spend now or we don't have enough. Not a solvent budgeting process.
Hard work and results does nothing for you or your career.
Lack of respect and appreciation at all levels. BAT has failed the Leader Meter.
Finally, they don't give a crap. Cut the Crap, you don't Guy and Jorge.
Paying interns and employees to post positive reviews has not and will not work.
Compensation is a murky backroom deal like much of the company's international business.
BAT has historically demonstrated they can't run the US business. They are doubling down on those things which didn't work, which makes them yes idiots.
Layoffs have been and will be a norm. No sense of security which drives the worst politics and behavior
