Pros

Working on some of the most recognisable brands in the world was a great experience. Everything you would expect and more from a large corporate organisation. There was great autonomy in all the roles I did and my managers trusted my judgement to get things done. There was good opportunity for progression and being a large global company the opportunities were endless. The additional benefits on top of basic salary, pension and share scheme, are something I am definitely going to miss.

Cons

Sometimes the decision making took far too long and also involved far too many people to get things moving quickly. Re organisations were common across the company and occurred every 18 months to 2 years

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.
