Pros

Great Brands Great Heritage Great People There is so much here that should drive success BUT......

Cons

Let me present you with the theory of great people management.... THEORY VS PRACTICE: Now that we have outlined Great People Management lets behave as we really are .Nasty, Vindictive, Bullying, Lacking in any humanity all wrapped up with some wonderful people management theory which you choose to ignore.

MOST PATHETIC ORGANISATION

Pros

Offers competitive Salary, this is the only highlight!

Cons

The most pathetic culture... HR, specially in Sales Function is absolutely autocratic, rude and unempathetic.. The employees are treated like slaves..there is absolutely no clarity or direction. The top leadership is extremely confused and very old school. Most of the senior leadership is old and at the verge of retirement. The employee is completely at his reporting manager's mercy...The organisation is not worth working with, at all!!

Pros

Good benefits and ability to work from home, sometimes.

Cons

Slavery! And things are getting worse. I have worked long hours for 3 years with no opportunities for promotion. Management is being very vague about promotion and opportunities. It seems they prefer to have people exactly where they are. Diageo brought in consultants, so lay-offs has been frequent. Expect massive exit from the company in the next years. Who wants to slave without any opportunities in the future?
