Salary at Diageo

Bonuses were confusing, only because it was a formula and seemed complicated in how it was calculated. But, for a graduate position I am happy with my salary.

Good bonuses

The pay package is very satisfying at Diageo, but in the graduate program you do commit to a capped salary progression for 3 years so by your 3rd year you do feel under compensated for the work you're doing. That being said, the experience, training, and development you get through the program are unbelievably good so I am happy with the trade off.

It doesn't feel very competitive - but as an intern I'm not there for the pay, but for my education.

I would say the pay is about average for an intern, but given my experience and other skills I didn't feel these were taken into account

Coming from other companies I have been paid more, however those companies didn't have great culture, coffee machines, snacks etc

I have got quite a few hats, bottles and other merch! The parental leave policy is also really good here!

Alcohol

Summer hours - during the summer months the office closes at 3pm on Fridays, allowing people to get to the beach or go home and spend more time with family and friends. It is expected that you work an extra few hours mon-thurs to compensate for the early finish but it is an amazing perk.

Full time employees have access to a house account for Diageo products - as an intern I was gifted a bottle of alcohol each month instead as setting up the system is too difficult for a 6 month tenure.

The company provides allowance to spend on its products, unfortunately you have to be a fulltime employee of over a year to participate
