Culture at DIAGEO

Relatively flat hierarchy, strong relationships and positive energy. Being a drinks company, it�s a social working environment and enjoy socialising during after work.

We have a great culture in the office and out of the office � everyone is hardworking, friendly and enjoys each other�s company. The company is big on teamwork, and we have fantastic opportunities to socialise amongst colleagues.

In the office it is generally quite relaxed and flexible. Quite a flat structure and doesn't feel so hierarchical (refreshing compared to an FMCG I interned at). There is a lot of collaboration between functions, so the ability to work in a team and communicate well is important and well-regarded. Within your own team, people are really supportive and Friday lunchtime people will often go to the pub for a meal. We have a bar at work that is open on Thursday and Friday evenings and people enjoy catching up together over a drink. It�s a relaxed way to get to know your colleagues.

We are great when it comes to cross-functionality and connecting across departments/teams. I feel like the culture has deteriorated since my time here in sales though, the team feels micromanaged and constantly under the microscope. Socially we are very good � having a fully functioning cocktail bar open on Thursdays and Fridays in the office definitely does a lot to bring people together at the end of the week and catch up/unwind.
