Pros

Someone once told me there are two types of companies: soccer teams and swim teams. On soccer teams, everyone contributes, it is very hard to attribute success or failure to individuals, everyone is aligned and wins together. On swim teams, athletes try to maximize their performance, they put all their effort to being the best and fastest they can, and they prioritize personal results. Yeah, at the end of the day they look up at the scoreboard and celebrate if their team won, but, being honest, what matters first are their personal results. On swim teams heros are everything, on soccer teams the team is everything. Anheuser-Busch is a swim team.

Cons

To play in the open market as a swim team means you better win every damn meet, because over time, the worse the team does the less and less competitive the tournaments they get invited to are. I don't know about you but regardless of how many olympians on the team there are, if you find yourself sliding towards the kid pool, do you really want to be in that company?

Pros

Free beer and decent salary

Cons

They have completely expunged meritocracy from their culture and replaced it with DEI. Anyone who is reading this, I would highly encourage you to read Anson Frericks book “The Last Call for Bud Light.” From diversity dashboards to racist rhetoric, it is a toxic culture from top to bottom. Management pretends like they want feedback and then does nothing when they receive it. Stay away.
