Pros

Flexibility, adaptability, integrity, openness. This Company is as open as you can be in a controversial business. Outstanding science on current and future products is being developed here.

Cons

I find there is still an excessive level of controls and bureaucracy. Also, despite the enormous progress already happening, the Company would keep eliminating fragmentation

Pros

Very strong compensation package, lots of very nice genuine people on the Reynolds US side

Cons

Toxic, politically charged environment, cliques of people each trying to place their own people in roles. A singular mis-trust and dislike of "outside" people who are brought in to move the company forward but the existing people who have worked there for years and years are all trying to protect and sustain their own roles and their own cliques. All show and pretty presentations but no meaningful, meaty strategy
