Pros

Highly collaborative teams Hybrid schedule, 3 days in office. A lot to learn from everyone, everyone's very friendly and can help you or point you in the right direction. Great benefits and salary. A great industry to get into. Solid career path if you decide to stay.

Cons

Culture is very particular. A lot of emphasis on appearances/impressions, but not so much on work quality. So much work is given to managers they can't manage their direct reports in crucial moments. Not all teams are managed equally or with proportionate respect to their impact on the business. Requires proper training for project duties and responsibilities, which lunch meetings will not solve.

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.
