Pros

Average salary, good mat and pat leave, nice offices, decent food.

Cons

Unskilled management, nepotism runs rife in Diageo Gb but no one admits it. Exec leadership team in GB is ineffective and politics ridden. Any dissenters are swiftly exited- several skilled, highly visible and high performing employees have left GB over the last 18 months - with no response provided by management and stone cold silence. Further paralysed by a feel-good leader who doesn’t have the skills and experience to transform the business and the backbone to make tough calls and follow them through. All vibes no substance. No progression as a result, high workload and low engagement. No one speaks up - fear led culture.
