Pros

Globally focused, nurturing culture, strong and diverse product portfolio, strong emphasis on maintaining healthy work-life balances. The company allows you to do so and encourages it. Great benefits: 401K with up to 6% match, Pension Plan and generous vacation time according to US standards.

Cons

Bureaucracy as I'd expect from any large company. Top heavy company with too few workers. Long term employees overpaid and unambitious. The company does offer great benefits and as such creates an atmosphere of "golden handcuffs"

Pros

Benefits are superb! The medical insurance is one of the best in the industry.

Cons

Too many consistent database changes, utilized sales force as focus group to utilize new software, micro management, non creative with HCP/Customer database, overly regulated, too much time required at Desk, although we were outside sales professionals, time management was unrealistic to get electronic responsibilities completed and spend adequate time in the field calling on HCP's.

Pros

GSK tends to employ lovely people who are great to work with. The company has some great brands that can really help people.

Cons

There is currently a disconnect between the stated values of the company and some of the behaviours being conducted and accepted within the company. The recent poor results are causing great stress and anxiety within the organisation. Recent corruption scandals in China and elsewhere were very disappointing to see as an employee
