Pros

good salary good benefits hybrid work

Cons

If you're considering a position in the digital marketing team based in Chiswick, tread carefully. its toxic environment is hard to ignore, and I tend to say, 'Nu iese fum fără foc' ('Where there's smoke, there's fire'). Many have left, switched teams, or taken sick leave due to the negative atmosphere. Staying will harm your career, stifle your ambitions, and reduce you to a mere 'yes man.' Personally, I'll collect my bonus in March and resign the next day-I can't wait to start a new chapter.

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
