Pros
Diageo is the biggest company in the industry, and hires the best people. Benefits are strong, and work-life balance is not a just a punchline - it really exists! Depending on the department you work in, work can be quite horizontal, so you get a lot of exposure and experience even if you are lower in the hierarchy.
Cons
Advancement can be slow, and if you work outside of headquarters, it can be difficult to feel "connected" to the larger corporation. Supply side receives less attention than demand. Being driven by Sales means that other departments of the company do not receive as much attention, even if they are strategically important.
