Anheuser-Busch reviews

There didn't appear to be any type of formal development planning systems in place. It was all handled individually and had to be driven by the individual employee. Except in the rare situations where someone was on the fast track and then they were mentored, put on plum assignments and moved up the organizational chart. Promotions were more tied to who someone knew ( or were related to.) , and hung out with. Rather than the work that they did.

Since the buyout, there is no more family feeling or fun at AB. Plus InBev has a completely different business model that focuses solely on cost cutting at the expense of experienced US employees. Some unfortunate changes include: Reducing pay rates to cut cost Desire younger less expensive talent Limited promotion opportunities in US (International focused) More focus on operations than brand building Fewer celebratory events to promote the brands and boost employee camaraderie In short, many of the reasons people wanted to work for AB in the past are gone.
