Diageo Reviews

Pros

Unique in how the company and people care about the performance we deliver, the inclusion of all employees plus the impact on communities and society. Genuinely have freedom to determine the impact you want to have, the way you want to work, and to try out new ideas and build your career. Working with such iconic brands you feel privileged and excited every day to be holding the torch for their future. A globally connected company, that despite its size is only 30,000 people means it feels like a real community and somewhere that is both ambitious and incredibly fun to work at with people you care about.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what makes this company great - investing in incredible brands, growing talented and diverse people and caring about our impact on communities.

Pros

Purpose led organisation with deep routed values and a leadership standard which everyone understands. Heritage and quality of products are amazing. Opportunity to make improvements and get things done! Inclusion and diversity are at the top of the agenda which is brilliant - I've worked in many other companies and I've never seen such an acute focus on this critical topic. People genuinely has passion for the business (for me this really makes a difference).

Advice to Management

You need to review your salaries to make them competitive in the region you operate in. Employees are working 50 hours a week on 35 hour contract to take home 70-80% of what their peers earn in London. You need to calibrate raises, people are forced to move departments or even company because their salaries net worth is actually going down with annual 'recommended 1-2%' -raise. Commute is long, workload is big but I can't afford to see therapist or go for a massage to take care of myself AND go abroad on my leave. Most of your employees level 4 and down flatshare even in their thirties. It's a shame that with a college degree and 7+ of experience for a multinational company this is what I get as pay. Advice: Make career paths clearer. Make managers accountable for developing their subordinates, not just around annual survey. Reinvest in your employees!
