      Pros

      Fairly stable due to it's size. Excellent work-life balance.

      Cons

      A lot of older management in the high ranks makes moving up a challenge. Quite behind the tech curve in terms of R&D and overall processes. Not the best pipeline.

      Pros

      Enormous company with many eco-systems so employee experience can vary greatly depending on management and business challenges. I've worked there 8 years, rose from Admin to Manager and have been offered valuable professional development opptys most points along the way. In an HR delivery function I can attest to it being a very ethical company that tries to do right by employees. Employees must own their development but the tools are there and easily accessible. Movement is encouraged to build breadth of knowledge. Pay is good/fair and benefits are excellent.

      Cons

      Constant market fluctuations can drive waves of RIFs that cycle through the various businesses functions. Certain functions, like IT, have seen more than their fair share. That said, there are many who have been with GSK IT over 20 years. Not unique to GSK, but they continue to try to do more with less to protect stock pricing. Employees are feeling the strain. Too many simultaneous objects. Very project focused and too many meetings.

      A visionary company that is great to work for.

      Pros

      Company values were solid, and the company responded to feedback from the field, which can be a very important quality in a company. I really had top notch managers who cared about their reps and treated them like the professionals they were. This then inspired myself and others to rise to put forth their very best. I learned a lot about leadership with my managers.

      Cons

      There were a lot of changes that occurred very quickly, and the impact to the representatives was that the changes were occurring at too fast a pace. Remarkably the company responded to feedback and worked to make the situation better.
