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.

Pros

Money was ok but not on par with the industry.

Cons

This place will give you a lot of vacation time but failed to mention they will take it away. If you are asked to stay over or asked to come in early and you refuse, they will take that asked time away from your vacation. So when they go through a time of say 3 to 4 months asking everyday to stay over or come in early it’s pretty draining.
