Pros

Lots of great people across the organization Great brands to work with, product allowance, and a bar in the office! Well respected organization Decent salary and good benefits. Generally, culture is collaborative and supportive Good opportunities for new roles or global transfers if you're in that 'club' of influence - You don't get them by being good at your job.

Cons

A lot of pressure put on managers - and if your manager is not good, you're experience will not be. Limited opportunities for growth Corp head office is is a terrible location - inaccessible by public transport Lack of senior leadership and and clarity in priorities Very internally focused A lot of change afoot A lot of long stayers (and lifers) make change and fresh ideas difficult to implement

Pros

Very welcoming company right from my first day. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for Diageo for the last three years, and have felt consistently challenged

Cons

I often find that the workload can be demanding (however rewarding when completed). There can be rare issues between co-operation of different departments.

Pros

Pay is OK. I liked most of the folks I worked with.

Cons

Layoffs have created a chaotic environment. There's not enough folks for the work load that needs to get completed. And there's a lack of competent upper management.
