Diageo reviews

*Immature organization - they struggle so hard to improve so little. The term "agile" is abused. It's code for we don't know what we're doing, so we change direction all the time. *Fire drill after fire drill, chronic re-orgs. *Did I mention chronic re-orgs? Chronic re-orgs are the first sign management doesn't know what they're doing. It would be nice to see management get swept away in the next re-org. *The place is riddled with old talent that grew with the organization. They learned how to do things the wrong way. *Smart thinking, careful planning and structured approaches are not rewarded. It's the old heroic fire fighting crew that saves the day with their tribal knowledge (that they won't share). *If you do get in and you want your job, fight for you life, get a kevlar vest and don't go near any buses. *It's an "all about me" culture. Your manager can care less about your development, because it's all about theirs. This behavior is rewarded.

A culture of constant downsizing has permeated company. General management has allowed this with an "it is what it is" attitude. As a result, workers generally looking over their shoulder at mid year and year end with more and more jobs consistently being pushed into distributors or overseas despite performance. With this, structure is becoming even flatter with less opportunity for progression, and has always been a bit "political" when it comes to promotions.
