Pros

The salary and benefits is fine.

Cons

1.The culture between head office and territorial office is very different. Territory office micromanagement easily burn out due to lots of paper work and demanding work load. 2. The public and law is getting more strict to tobacco business.

Pros

BAT really values talent and invests a lot of money to attract high-potential employees. There are many opportunities for career growth, you can make an international career if you prove yourself. The company's culture is unique. Salaries are also quite attractive.

Cons

Everything can change a bit too quickly - one day your objectives are set in one direction, the other day your objectives can gain a completely different perspective. I guess it's the company's reaction to 'the real world'. However, better planning couldn't hurt. Also BAT's a bit political and bureaucratic- like any other big company. Too many leaders in one place is sometimes a problem seeing as everyone wants to be in the spotlight. Often this can seriously influence decision-making. And, of course, working for a tobacco company can be a huge ethical issue for many.

Pros

The people at BATM are smart, hardworking, ambitious. A great place to work in to meet like-minded individuals. I enjoy working with my peers, people are friendly. Salary is still competitive, great benefits. Highlights: full medical coverage for employee, spouse and children, cigarette ration, free food at cafeteria, in-house clinic. The company is trying hard to implement work-life balance with flexi hours and work from home options. Its still in the early stages and would like to see how it pans out. Culture is very much work hard and smart to get your promotion. Good place to have a career in. Prepare to put in the hours.

Cons

Visibility is key at BATM. The top management needs to know your achievements and are aware of your standings to progress in this company. A little difficult to learn things from others, due to the workload. BATM workload is pretty heavy, going home at 6pm everyday is not common practice.
