Pluspunten
The only reason is for the money. BAT used to care about its employees but not anymore.
Minpunten
Let's start with the basics, is a shrinking company that promises to increase dividends every year no matter the cost. The solution identified is very simple: cost reduction. - Every year there is a project called Quantum that puts you at notice so you can apply for your own position, this generates a terrible atmosphere. - Apart from that, roles are being moved overseas on a daily basis. - Now BAT is suspending salary adjustments even with an amazing year in order to profiteering from the COVID situation. - For those who remain, the workload is insane and you are expected to work 12 hours a day in order to achieve the targets set - High-level management now uses very low-level tactics that if you don't deliver unachievable targets you will be part of the next wave of redundancies. - Next point is the complete lack of planning before these role movements, it is kind of normal to have employees leaving the company and then a consulting firm doing the same job but at a higher price, just for the management of the area show he was able to reduce some number of FTEs even if spending more money. - If you are coming from abroad, make sure to include a stabilization clause on your contract. I saw too many times people moving from other countries to the UK on a working visa just to be made redundant 1 after, even with very good performance ratings. - Finally, in an act to spit in the face of employees and show how committed to cost reductions the company is, the CEO switched his company car from a BMW to a Bentley.
