BAT Reviews

Pros

Good working environment, friendly, flexi working hours

Cons

High pressure, changing environment, several reporting layer

Pros

They pay you well and you are expected to work extremely long hours.

Cons

Zero work-life balance. Everyone hangs out with each other at work which is very odd... no life beyond work. It is a pretty toxic environment where everyone gossips. I feel people stay because of the remuneration package and international mobility opportunities. The actual business is going down... cigarettes will phase out, and the new cat strategies are a complete flop. Sadly, many of these international expats stay with BAT because they know they won't get paid more elsewhere or have the same opportunity. CEO and Leadership Team are all very hierarchical. People operate under fear... the ones who are chosen are very good at managing up. Not real leaders or innovators.
