Diageo Employer Reviews

My normal day at Diageo consisted of auditing the 6 production lines for any glass breaks, dirty cleaning items, and personal hygiene. I was on a 3 month contract, which was extended 6 months because of my performance. I was eventually let go as part of a plant wide layoff resulting in a decline from ~300 jobs to ~50

Diageo is a wonderful place to work. Its a growing organization that is constantly evolving. Each year employees are expected to be more productive with less resources.

I worked in operations for over a yr. Although I was a temp, I was treated equally and as long as you did your work and were a team player, you were successful. Great benefits and a flexibel scheule for the full time reps. Some are even able to work from home 2 days a week or during bad weather. Would defintly recommend applying. Unfortuntealy, there – more... were not any jobs open for me to apply to. – less

A good place to start up, and explore new things. Management is very concerned about the timings at work, and have become punctual after working in such an environment.

This company goes the extra mile to make anybody nonwhite and gay/bisexual feel important. There main goal is to get awards, one of the great places to work award or the green award or great place for ethnic groups award. Upper management is so disconnected with the man out on the floor doing the work. Management turnover is very high due to burnout – more... and work overload. Every management employee is out to make a name for themselves even if it means screwing something up. Very lacking in the common sense area this company is. Corporate!!! leave the sites alone and let them do their jobs!!!!! – less

This is a place where you can learn a lot and you feel you do contribute!There was always a lot of work to do, there were a lot of things happening. Working in Corporate Relations, HR and Marketing I learned how to manage my time efficiently and how to multitask. – more... The most exciting part of my work was events-planning, doing external communications, and planning community service events. – less

A typical day here is very efficient, filled with meetings and event planning.

I learned how to be a better manager here

Co-workers responded to me in an efficient manner

Hardest part of the job was firing people

The most enjoyable part of the job was the free booze!

A lot of VERY smart marketing people at Diageo. High energy. A little too much going on at one time. too many agencies vying for business. a lot of pressure to compete with others

Great company and great people to work with. They are one of the biggest beverage manufacturers and the work and company environment.

Great company to learn financial systems and training opportunites.

Diageo has very good benefits and employee programs. Pay is below average (for my position) and management is very disengaged. Things move at a very slow pace and no one seems to want to take ownership of their function. They will do anything to save even the smallest about of money even though it ends up costing them more in the long term with service – more... failures.
They switched us to being paid once a month to save money which is a bigger pain than I can describe.
It's a very "who you know" company. I think that morale is very differently among departments. Advancement from within does exist but there are far more external hires. – less
