It was enjoyable pre-takeover, but the rewards just dried up when the Brazilians took charge. - Senior Manager Anheuser-Busch Employee Review

Pros

High potential variable compensation (stress *potential*). Opportunity for international assignment. Young, energetic culture. Smart people. Big time resources available when they are needed. Market leadership position makes for a certain degree of prestige. You can drink beer on the job if you are so inclined.

Cons

Poor work-life balance. Sr. management disdain for legacy AB employees. Much greater emphasis on growing profit than on maintaining or enhancing product/brand quality. Low morale. Rigid, one-size-fits-all business philosophy. High variable compensation is often not paid out. Benefits are weak, even though they try to make it seem like they are "50th percentile among similar sized companies."

Pros

Free beer and decent salary

Cons

They have completely expunged meritocracy from their culture and replaced it with DEI. Anyone who is reading this, I would highly encourage you to read Anson Frericks book “The Last Call for Bud Light.” From diversity dashboards to racist rhetoric, it is a toxic culture from top to bottom. Management pretends like they want feedback and then does nothing when they receive it. Stay away.
