GSK Consumer Healthcare is a nightmare. Run away from here. I came here from the Pfizer Consumer Healthcare merger. I have had the same role at Pfizer and now at GSK. However, it went from an amazing company and culture, to a toxic hell. How can that happen in the exact same job? That tells you how the problem is with GSK. Everyone from legacy Pfizer is leaving. Nobody is happy here and there is constant blaming and miserable atmosphere.
Cons
-No respect for peoples time or calendars.
-Meetings are added on top of blocked calendars.
-2 hour meetings are added with short notice.
-6-8 hours of meetings and 200 new emails per day. -No time to get any work done. If a meeting or email is missed people track you down, only leading to more wasted time reading and responding.
-Constant change in processes and systems leading to new training needed.
-Overall compensation low compared to industry peers.
-No decision makers. Constant analysis needed over and over with nobody giving direction on next steps.
-Any issues get bubbled up to the top and everyone in the organization. This lead to more questions and work needed that doesn’t add value.
-20 years of experience and treated like an intern. Work is constantly scrutinized and questioned.
-Record breaking sales yet everyone is still miserable.
-Unprepared for Pfizer merger which created the largest Consumer Healthcare company. How do you not add resources for this?
-Zero leadership. Toxic culture. Too many people overstepping yet nobody making final decisions.
-Incorrect systems and reports. Reports get viewed by everyone. This leads to wasted time trying to dig into the errors instead of doing actual work.
-Constant immediate deadlines. Tasks provided at 4pm are due same day. Tasks given for weekends.
-Constant requests that are just busy work and have no added value.
-Plenty more but that is all I have at the moment.
