Pros

The people are all very knowledgeable and capable. The benefits and travel were good compared to other companies in their peer group. Deeply discounted alcohol. Profit sharing is nice.

Cons

Old boys club! Former President of NA ran the company like a 'mafia' family if I'm honest. If he didn't like you, your days were numbered. HR basically would do nothing. Its better to do your job versus offering instructive feedback, views and opinions.

Pros

Good perks and benefits if you enjoy Thursday nights at the bar with good drinks and beautiful models. Luckily for me, this is a boy's club. By miles a company that is fun to work for in technology since there is no leadership with clear and measurable targets. In the 5+ years I have been with the company doing supply and IT project delivery, I've survived failing projects and disastrous budgeting plans. You build strategic alliances and a strong attitude and people will respect you and leave you alone. Very short commute from my home in Norwalk is a plus!

Cons

It's amazing the wasted capital placed into disastrous global Diageo business services. Management goes on events and social spending using corporate funds while funding is cut for good projects. Our department had 5 expatriate employees within the past 2 years. Budgeting 500k each plus benefits on a company looking to cut spending. 1 expatriate quit after 4 months due to the lock of viable guidance by management.

Pros

Product based company and always in demand everywhere and in everything

Cons

*If you are career oriented, This is not your place *An unstructured job culture/environment, where the company never give you an update/feedback/action plan,place you in dark where you will never know where you are heading and throw you, not because you have not your bit because nothing is steamlined and the management does what they just think with no records. * They promise to give you hell lot of technologies, but you will have none. * No Job security. you only get to know that you are laid off on your last day, where they would never let you onto the work floor and ask you to leave immediately as though you are a robber/criminal. Then experience letter reads "As you where unwell, you decided to quit". So insane * If you have an idea, Give it to the management who would use it stating thats its their idea & in few days you are kicked out. * Management is inhuman, A drunken paradise.
