      70% politics/"stakeholder management", 30% skills

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - competitive benefits - matrix organization - so most work is cross-functional - many people with unique personality, the culture is quite similar across different market - great friday bars - a lot of opportunities for cross functional exposure and career progression

      Cons

      - easily find yourself drowned in politics, to the point where it compromises efficiency and effectiveness of work. - very slow at decision making - innovation works take forever - short-term oriented (very...)

      Great school to learn, higher up it is all about relationships

      Human resources manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - cash rich organisation - great opportunities in markets to learn and develop

      Cons

      - unclear vision of the future of the organisation - from mid management upwards it is about whom you know rather then what you know and deliver - decision making is slow and even once a decision is made, it often is reversed - bullying is tolerated, particularly high up in the organisation

      Great leadership & culture going down the drain

      Leadership
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Always been a factory producing great leaders Love the culture as long as you are away from the global headoffice Big challenges and stretch for high potentials People are great (outside of Globe House)

      Cons

      Global headoffice lacks leadership. Everyone here is saving their own jobs Top leadership has lost track of what makes BAT such a great company Lack of direction for the end markets Too much focus on the back office stuff
