Business outlook
Pros
Amazing and supportive colleagues, opportunity to grow and learn. Company values are really good; freedom to succeed means that there's freedom if you'd like to do something new. It is a great company overall to work for. And you can really enjoy those drinks!
Cons
The usual no-real-owner company disease: to make the investors and analysts happy, there are reorganizations in almost every two years to prove cost and overall effectiveness. Advice from big consultancy firms is taken as holy grail.

Unrealistic expectations towards employees

*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.
