Pros

AB still has great brands which is the reason for some continued pride in the company. Benefits are good (for now) and job cuts have slowed. Free beer and fun industry helps you get out of bed in the morning.

Cons

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.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great Coworkers, Cafe at HQ

Cons

Position was eliminated following 10 years of dedicated service, with no transition placement or internal employment opportunities provided. I also don't believe the company knows or understands it's own culture.
