Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAT to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to BAT
Go in with an open mind especially if you are from a more creative industry and you'll learn a lot about areas that you are most likely unfamiliar with which will be beneficial in the long term. Be open to all opportunities regardless of what you want to do in the future and be keen to do task and help
