Pros

Great Flexible working hours , Global company with strong brands , Good training ground for understanding full business workflows , Great knowledge base of industry best practice, Opportunity to grow your career (although depends alot on you ). Despite my cons I would still recommend them as one of the better places to work in the UK

Cons

Large company Large workload and expectations sometimes on little or no training or guidance, alot of areas especially outside of selling and marketing have sink or swim culture, (Sales & marketing gets quite a bit of training and guidance which is obviously understandable as its the revenue driver). If you want to grow you have to "manage" yourself up get to know the right people who will endorse you along the way.

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.
