Pros

Great benefits package, large company and great brands to work with. A lot of opportunity with access to interesting platforms & pretty good budgets

Cons

Culture - Diageo is not a collaborative environment. Managers and leadership only want to focus on how they look to the exec and getting more money and promoted which means that you get very little development in actual skills and are just told to play the politics. Have been told over and over in development conversations that I just need to play the game more instead of trying to deliver my KPIs

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.
