Pros

Great products and incredible brands!

Cons

Global teams are run by experts in theory — former management consultants who care only about their next promotion and pay grade. Global team leadership is mediocre, lacking real market, category or channel expertise and showing absolutely no care for the market’s success or actual commercial results. There’s rampant favouritism and excessive spending on glossy projects for investors that never see the light of day or reach consumers.

Pros

Pay & Benefits are wonderful

Cons

Unrealistic expectations towards employees Insurance benefits *Managers* are composed of front-line production leads and those who may oversee or supervise.* The work-life balance is severely lacking, and there are biased managers who add negative connotations to peers' actions without any solid evidence or knowledge. Furthermore, these managers often lack technical expertise regarding machinery and engage in excessive micromanagement of employees. The workplace lacks diversity as defined, and the hiring representatives are typically the same floor leads that micromanage peers creating unfair hiring process at Diageo. Many individuals who have encountered the corrupt practices lead reps in previous jobs are frequently denied opportunities.
