Pros

Great HR Processes and talent (outside US) and great brands. Lots of International Meetings to exotic places with first class hotels and flat bed international first class air travel. The management throw awesome parties for days at a time!

Cons

Very political and inconsistent. People not treated equally. Double standards (drinking excessively and fraternising (exec romantically involved with staff). It can be a bit of "who you know and if UPI went to the right school.

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.
