Pros

Some great people and leaders Exciting brands and global reach Work benefits including alcohol allowance Nice office location

Cons

Great people leaving because of toxic culture Constant restructure and job loss Awful management and aggressive bullying in one particular department Focus on big voices rather than work quality or employee capability Lack of diversity in the office HR does not show support to employees, rather enjoys politics Seen junior people bullied and mismanaged. No proper training but overwhelming expectations with constant downsizing

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.
