Pros

-Good product line up -Informal working environment -Product Allowance -Good facilities

Cons

-Local vs expat differences are huge in benefits, and it is very visible -Almost impossible to grow in the company unless you are native english speaker -Networking is becoming increasingly important rather than how successful you are in what you do -Too many layers in management, where lead, manager or director titles dont mean much

Pros

It is a social company with a good product stand in the marketplace. Flexible end of week ability to work from corporate or NY office as meetings allowed.

Cons

Diageo pretends that diversity is important,but there are no true diversity leaders and they will not invest in training, supplying resources, or increasing functions in diversity. This company is predominately run by white men in leadership roles and women leadership amongst black and hispanic women does not exist at the company. The Director level is not a big deal in the support functions so they should stop trying to skew the numbers that way for the media. There is very little growth support Diageo in terms of building on industry and functional learning. They need to invest in their people. Memberships, conferences and educational support in lacking for everyone. As non-minority it sickened me to see across groups Trade,Marketing, Sales, Finance, Supply, PR how this value was not real.
