Pros

Great company to work for. Lots of perks. Loved it for the time I worked here. Made some great friends and also gained valuable on the job skills.

Cons

While I previously enjoyed a positive work experience at this company for many years, the appointment of senior leadership at in Huntingwood (Sydney) from overseas resulted in a significant cultural shift. The previously friendly and trusting environment unfortunately gave way to a culture of intimidation, fear, lack of transparency and lack of trust among colleagues. There are multiple instances of staff being spoken down to and even insulted during meetings with multiple witnesses. No respect and no empathy,

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.
