Great company to work for

Pros

Working on some of the most recognisable brands in the world was a great experience. Everything you would expect and more from a large corporate organisation. There was great autonomy in all the roles I did and my managers trusted my judgement to get things done. There was good opportunity for progression and being a large global company the opportunities were endless. The additional benefits on top of basic salary, pension and share scheme, are something I am definitely going to miss.

Cons

Sometimes the decision making took far too long and also involved far too many people to get things moving quickly. Re organisations were common across the company and occurred every 18 months to 2 years

Pros

Great iconic brands - company benefits, healthcare

Cons

The interview process - Diageo has a strong culture and moral code for a Dignity at work Policy. Personal experience has demonstrated that this is only when it really suits them. HR are very poor if I'm honest, over 4 separate occasions the delays - the lack of internal communication is overwhelming. The direction internally seems lost and there is an inner circle from networking to face fits scenario. 1 month waiting to hear anything - roles that are advertised, then pulled, then someone fills internally without consultation. Treated from a headhunted high performer to just cut out completely and financially ruined isn't in any company values I've seen however has happened to me. I'm sure Ivan isn't aware of the condition of the business leaders he heads up.
