Graduate Brand Ambassador - Anonymous employee Chivas Brothers Employee Review

Good culture that allows a balance personal / work life.

Progression is highly dependent on internal relationships and moving abroad.

Pernod Ricard has some big brands and lots of resources to push them

I would say to be cautious, if you are considering joining the BA intl grad programme. Its very easy in the beginning to get swept up in the hysteria as everyone tells you its the dream job. For most, its certainly not the case. The job more closely resembles a travelling stage performer who's only material is to reel off the same marketing nonsense again and again; and to get pissed with strangers on a regular basis. It gets old quickly. The most important thing to note, is that once a BA, it is not easy to make the jump into another role. It is a low skill position, with little retention rate after the programme. This can leave many people caught in a tricky position for their career after they leave.
