Pros

Offers competitive Salary, this is the only highlight!

Cons

The most pathetic culture... HR, specially in Sales Function is absolutely autocratic, rude and unempathetic.. The employees are treated like slaves..there is absolutely no clarity or direction. The top leadership is extremely confused and very old school. Most of the senior leadership is old and at the verge of retirement. The employee is completely at his reporting manager's mercy...The organisation is not worth working with, at all!!

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.
