Pros

Great Company benefits, great company culture and if you are in a different department than HR you will have work life balance.

Cons

There are organizational redesign every year, that is too much, you don't even have time to see if what you just implemented may work. The favoritism is amazing, if you belong to the people they love you will have a brilliant career, if the HR Leaedership team or your LM doesn't like you, forget it! start looking. The HR Management team is very unpolished, they even have people working in HR without related degrees or experience..

Pros

Pay & Benefits are wonderful

Cons

Unrealistic expectations towards employees Insurance benefits *Managers* are composed of front-line production leads and those who may oversee or supervise.* The work-life balance is severely lacking, and there are biased managers who add negative connotations to peers' actions without any solid evidence or knowledge. Furthermore, these managers often lack technical expertise regarding machinery and engage in excessive micromanagement of employees. The workplace lacks diversity as defined, and the hiring representatives are typically the same floor leads that micromanage peers creating unfair hiring process at Diageo. Many individuals who have encountered the corrupt practices lead reps in previous jobs are frequently denied opportunities.
