Pros

- Good work life balance - Good people at entry/mid level

Cons

- Lack of strategy and constant organization changes in Digital & Technology function - Lot of internal politics leading to slow decision making - Lack of career advancement/progression. Not a single employee promoted/selected for leadership role in last 4-5 years in entire Technology and Data Analytics space. - Seems that decisions are taken on mood/whims and fancies especially by new Data Analytics leadership - low connect with market and business for Data Analytics leadership leading to confusion and conflicts

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.
