Business Outlook

Pros

- 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

Cons

- 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.
