Anheuser-Busch InBev reviews

AB systematically incentivizes its best and brightest to leave with unnecessary layers of bureaucracy and cost controls. For example, you can’t increase salary by more than 15% in any one move, even if you jumped a full band or more. Senior/executive advancement is a war of attrition and leaves us with uninspiring leadership (most of which still white males) in many areas. AB is a great blocking and tackling monopolist, is terrible at building brands or spotting trends early. You may not feel inspired by the ambition or modern capabilities of those around you. The industry is 30 years behind the times. 3-tier system creates a lack of control over the product. Everything must be viewed through the politics of wholesalers and retailers, not to mention internal divided among Regions and brand teams etc. It is quite frustrating over time, and you realize the bulk of your time is spent on internal selling.

Worst company mainly due to useless management driving their own value instead of leading a team. Many other cons like HR thinking they know everything and telling you “your future”
