Pros

- Ok pay and benefits - Good budgets to send staff gifts - Trips to distilleries - Employee resource groups with focus on D&I

Cons

- They failed to pay all staff on 2 occasions during my time here, the latter being dealt with unbelievably badly by HR. - Lots of corporate back slapping, if being false and clapping for the leadership team at any opportunity is your thing, this is the place for you! - Just like most corporate environments, expect to hear morale busting middle management speak and slogans that mean nothing to leadership. - Expect to be thrown under the bus at any given opportunity by management or colleagues in order for them to progress. - It's common for colleagues to avoid speaking honestly with HR without fear of repercussions, generating a culture of fear. Be wary of any survey from HR that says it is anonymous. - Very process driven with processes that change regularly. - No innovation and creativity is stifled. - Little training and development.

Pros

- Can't really fault the culture. There is a constant, incredible commitment to diversity & inclusion and management is always seeking advice/feedback from everyday employees on how we can improve. - The majority of colleagues are very collaborative and more than happy to help you. You will stick out if you only like to do things yourself though - Hiring has gotten a lot better in European markets, there was previously a big workload with some people covering 2/3 jobs but it's getting better.

Cons

- Yearly pay reviews haven't really been in line with inflation. Company grew massively during Covid so should reflect this in salary adjustments. - A lot of meetings for meetings sake but this is being refined as we go along
