Pros

A company that was born international. The scope and exposure to people and projects from around the world gives so much diverse experience. This is the type of business if you are ambitious, passionate and happy to get stuck in, then career progression will happen for you. They encourage, reward and celebrate great results.

Cons

It is a really big company, so when changes are needed to happen at a global level, the process can take a bit of time. Lots of people involved and to manage.

Pros

They have this desks which you can put up and down.

Cons

Bulling is the second name of the culture in BAT. People are humiliated, mistreated, and unappreciated. There're leadership absence and very concerning culture gap. They moved people from countries like Malaysia, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela to the HQ and gave them leadership positions without preparing them for cultural differences and teaching them British and European values. It results in the culture of bullying and treating people like slaves. Moreover, their business model is far from ideal. They're completely not ready for the market shift and product pipeline change. Imagine rusty mad man sitting in the old chair, smoking cigar and claiming that the world outside is as cheesy as his mindset. That's BAT. Without modern, effective WoW, processes and governance in place. Without transparency, open communication. People are promoted because they are the part of the cliques or are easy to control, not because they are competent and successful in their roles. Learning is a insult in BAT. Toxic politics is the king. If you're desperate and lacking basic intelligence you should definitely apply to BAT! Wise and intelligent people are escaping the boat now so there'll be some free vacancies very soon.
