Pros

Company has employee friendly policies and talented workforce.

Cons

No work that is pending with First Point gets done on time. After multiple follow ups, people either give up or by pass them and complete the work informally. Be it hiring or exit. HR dept. doesn't respond to any employee concerns and behaves as if they are doing a favour on employees by giving them benefits which are approved at org level. L&D exists for name sake. No skills enhancement

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.
