Pros

Open bar for employees and discounted products Competitive salary and allowances

Cons

Unwilling to learn different ways of doing things - "this is how we've always done it" Each function protects their own KPI, no true collaboration People tend to be cliquish Employees who are close to senior managers get lenient treatment (some lazy ones are ignored/left alone to disappear in the middle of the day or just surf the internet) **Read the other reviews that are 3 stars and below. You will see a recurring theme regardless of country or function.**

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.
