Anheuser-Busch InBev reviews

Work / Life balance can be challenging Very autonomy focused culture, not always 100% clear direction

ABI is a finance company selling beer. There is no balance, work is life, including the social aspects of your life. The work is constantly putting out fires and not moving your position forward. There are very high expectations and lean teams which put pressure on speed and a lack of innovation. The KPIs drive actions that are not always aligned with the best intentions for the long term growth of the company and having young inexperienced graduates in higher positions often leads to a large learning curve and high position turnover. Due to this there is a lack of training and cross-functional communication because many new/moved employees must optimize their work and then leave before being able to fully impact in that role causing knowledge gaps. The C suite often leads with intimidation and gives little positive feedback on jobs well done. Overall time management with meetings is inefficient. The culture as a whole has become a churn and burn culture with a boys club/fratty atmosphere where the main form of communication is playful sarcasm.
