        Pros

        International spirits company with spectacular portfolio of brands

        Cons

        The family atmosphere and company culture was once a huge draw to the company. Now the culture is going by the wayside as the company cares more about driving more profit. Nothing else seems to matter.

                      Pros

                      The WG&S family values are ingrained in the culture. Hugely supportive colleagues and senior management. Good opportunities for internal development and internal global training courses. Amazing brands with strong marketing campaigns. Real opportunity to make a difference - you can pitch your ideas internally and may see some of them come to life

                      Cons

                      Not as agile as we should be when launching npd Quite a lot of change within the business which can be unsettling at times Due to the number of brands, it can be hard to prioritise at times

                      I’m new to this data analyst part of tech. I’m trying to break in but it’s been difficult. Can anyone help me with what to expect for interview questions for my position?

                      Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
