Salary at Diageo

We have fairly average pay in comparison to friends in similar industries, however the bonus is very good.

I don't think you work at a company like this to get paid a lot, you work to get experience and knowledge and build your capability (and because you enjoy it)

Great for graduates

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

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

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

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.

Good bonuses

We have an alcohol allowance of $800 per year

We get an allowance to purchase our products; we have a free bar with amazing bartenders that we can also bring friends to; we can occasionally get concert or festival tickets; we sometimes get invited to fun awards nights or dinners; and every so often we will down tools at work and go out for the afternoon to unwind and celebrate recent achievements.

Free tickets to festivals, bar work at festivals and summer hours

free bottles of alcohol on occasion

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

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.

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.
