A bit of both - Anonymous employee Diageo Employee Review

They cut a lot in training budgets the last years, if you're not in the commercial teams, you probably won't have much. It is expected from you to work a lot and to be competitive. Even though they want to promote work-life balance, they are still not there. The salary policy: they're using a benchmark of their talent's competitor depending on the level of the role. It's very common to be offered 75%-80% of the mid-point of your salary range.
