Diageo Employer Reviews

Diageo is a great company to work for. As a sales representative, sales calls start around 10am and go until 7pm. There is frequent evening/night work events. The hardest part about the job is creating value within the accounts while staying compliant with State laws and company policies. The most enjoyable aspect of the job is that it is very social – more... and Diageo provides great benefits. – less

The salary and perks are great, however, work life balance does not exist.

Open, fun productive workplace that is also very fast-paced and productive.

Management gives employees freedom to lead projects with their own style.

Projects can be difficult to navigate with lack of formal direction.

Management tends to be hands-off.

People can be too busy to provide useful help.

Diageo is the leader in the alcohol beverage business. They produce and distribute dozens of brands including Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, Crown Royal, Jose Cuervo, Baileys, Guinness and many others.

It was a pleasure working at Diageo when the employees had perks and good benefits. The workplace is very relaxed and fun at times. Diageo has good vacation package for employees and the capability to work from home.
The cons are that the company has changed a lot in the past 5 years. Employee incentives are not good. Travel is extremely limited. It – more... is very difficult to advance up the corporate ladder or around within the company. Management blocks you. Also management is difficult to deal with and HR does nothing to fix the problems. – less

Better start practicing your brown nosing skills because that is all that matters at Diageo. If you brown nose the right people you will get promoted it is not about the work since only a small % are doing it while the rest spend their time with politics. Very high in favoritism for a "certain" kind of group. They promote drinking in the office and – more... employees drive home after drinking, very unethical and they don't practice what they preach. – less

Typical day is going to work board and finding where you will be working. Two days are never the same. management is ok, some better then others. coworkers do help you when needed. Working twelve hours a day. going home after a long day and know you have two days off.

I enjoy going to work every day and working with the brand managers and other stakeholders.

Benifts and company culture are a plus. Sometimes the company seems to make desisions on company reorganization based on money but then ends up spending more to rehire when customer service fails.

I worked there as a consultant for a half year assignment; was ONLY given 3 days notice my assignment was ending (VERY unprofessional). The experience was good and bad (at the end). I liked the working environment very much. However, I didn't like the amount of favoritism I saw. Everyone who is a non-employee there will literally throw the other non-employee – more... "under the bus" to get hired. What's even worse is what I saw in sheer favoritism from Hiring Managers to those who knew how to brown nose and suck up to them instead of hiring a GOOD employee who would be an asset to their department. I actually witnessed reverse discrimination/favoritism which is clearly against company policy and am deciding whether or not to "whistle blow" on it to H.R. – less

Not a very healthy place to work at. Management is cut-throat and its a good old boys club mentality. Very corupt, alot of sleeping around between bosses and their direct reports. Constant restructures you never know when they will take you out. You have two people doing all the work while the rest do nothing and get promoted.

At Diageo we work & have fun too. All occassions are celebrated. Employess gathering once a week to know each other. Managers very friendly to work with.Colleagues very helpful in all aspect. Very professional approaches. Lot to learn & do. Time spent very usefully.

company is flexible and believes in helping its employees reach their goals.

I enjoyed my 5 years with them , but can you do. they closed the plant do to logistics

No day would be the same in this role, which was great, you never knew what was the next item you would need to manage.

Extensive travel, fast pace environment, working with great teams and managers, made this a fantastic role.

At times there was no life balance just work but the satisfaction of watching a great event that you had help to create was – more... worth the loss of personal time. – less

Project Lead/Manager for a wide range of IS/IT infrastructure projects as well as introducing new services for end users in St.James’s Gate, Dublin.

Very unorganized, but good environment to work, there is a lot of close working conditions which is nice, although there are a lot of communication problems between shift supervisors.

Each day provided a different task even though it may of included the same jobs, different guests have different personalities and its how you react to there needs and what you can provide for them. I personally gained confidence and also to be prepared by guests actions. My colleagues were outstanding and i couldn't of asked for a better bunch of guys. – more... My job didn't entail any difficulties and was a pleasure to do. – less

i learned many highly responsible jobs while working at diageo, the team members all worked together too get the production out on time, the hardest part of the job was doing changeovers on the big machines as the changeover parts were quite heavy, a typical day at work was seeing everyones achievement at giving our best performance and high quality – more... of standard to the production we were producing and getting the orders out on time, the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing your hard work leading too many more orders for the company. – less

My typical day at work involved me getting and receiving letters which i then had to sort out and make sure they were distributed out to the right departments. I learned to be more organised, i got on well with my co-workers which is important in a work environment. There was not really a hard part to my day as i enjoyed learning new thing and being – more... able to be part of a team. – less
