Pros
Diageo is agreat place to work. People are friendly and the company has a fantastic portfolio of brands. There are a lot of opportunities to grow within the company. I had the chance to work in various positions within the company and I feel that the company really cares about its personel. Moroever, Diageo is a great place to start your career. You will learn a lot of things in every function of the company. The company encourages changes between functions, allowing its employees to get a wide range of experience. Finally, the Greek subsidiary is amongst the best in Europe allowing employees to get international exposure as well.
Cons
Due to the nature of the products you need to work at nights some time, since your clients are bar, clubs and restaurants. As a result, you have to spend a lot o nights away from home. While that's ok when you are 25-30 it starts getting boring when you are older. One other thing is that salaries are average. Many people leave the company because other companies, mainly pharmaceuticals, offer greater salarie and benefits, even 30% higher. This is why the employee turnover increased over the last couple of years. Finally, I am worried that senior management has not a "crystal" way to grow the business in the year to come.
