BAT Reviews

1. Politics - understand that all orgs have it but BAT AU is an extreme case 2. HR - powerful lobby that can make or break your career 3. The use of "well, that's how it is done in BAT" to answer anything that may be unjust 4. Aggressive and go-getter behaviour is encouraged at the detriment of individuality. You need to fit a mold 5. Old school management style that appeases the top bosses at the detriment of business 6. Rude behavior - again, accepted at BAT since it is good to drive people to succeed 7. No one wants to speak about products that are launched that don't succeed

No recognition for hard work and people who actually deliver Only way to climb up the ladder is to suck up to the leadership and agreeing to everything they say even if it is wrong Diversity and inclusion in australia is just PR and there is no action for this - just forcing people to hire different nationalities is not D&I Great amount of bias exists in every aspect, if you are not a yes man. HR has no idea about the issue th employees have as they are busy schmoozing the leadership to save their job and the favorites of leadership Unnecessary strategy shifts or challenges created by leadership even when not required - no willingness to hear a different view point No work life balance - expectations are completely off the charts. trade leadership is ruining the place and the culture is extremely toxic across the organisation (there are some functions which are really good) Most of the leadrship does not have any experience or skill and are there beause of who they know - People connections and politics are more imporant than skills and delivery Performing employees are often seen as a threat by the immature leadership Too many folks have had their glowing careers outside of BAT clipped once they join BAT and only way to get that back on track is to leave
